Litterbugs named and shamed in Sheffield crackdown

Each person was offered the opportunity to pay a £75 fixed penalty notice but declined to do so – and instead were brought before Sheffield Magistrates’ Court and prosecuted.

All of the offenders were fined £220, as well as being told to pay the council’s costs of nearly £120 and a victim surcharge of £22 – making a total penalty of more than £350.

Environmental enforcement officers in Sheffield have issued more than 1,200 litter fines across the city in the last year.

They face prosecution if they do not pay the fine
