fines nr where I work are common

there are smoking bins so there is no excuse for littering the street

They have the power to demand your details and it is an offence not to provide them. However they do not have a power to detain you, which is kind of pointless unless they can get a PCSO or Police Officer to attend before you can do one.

No it is not, it is an offence to refuse to provide details.
Remaining silent is not a refusal it is a common law right.

You have the right to silence, that right is absolute in law.

So how does someone provide details (to avoid committing the offence of refusing to provide details) while remaining silent?

There are exceptions.

They hover around the entrance to my work like flies on poo...

....but the smokers shouldn't be dropping them in the first place

If you cannot/will not stop smoking take up Ecigs' {problem solved as there is nothing to drop or cause a litter problem}.
I started using them a few years back, get the same satisfaction and save money.
