Sheffield Council has also prosecuted two people handing out flyers in the city without a permit and another person caught fly-posting. The council today released a list of the litterbugs convicted in a series of court hearings. Each of those fined for littering had been offered the opportunity to pay a £75 fixed penalty but refused to do so – and were taken to court as a result. Coun Terry Fox, cabinet member for environment and transport at Sheffield Council, said: “We are delighted that once again the courts continue to back the council’s strong approach to littering and other environmental crime. “These cases demonstrate that we will take action against those who spoil our city. “We are committed to keeping Sheffield clean and tidy for our residents, businesses and visitors. “This is a great result and sends a clear message of no tolerance to those who disrespect the city and our environment.” In the last year environmental enforcement officers have issued more than 1,200 fixed penalty notices to people dropping litter across the city. In most cases the individuals admitted the offence and paid the fixed penalty. Those that did not pay the fixed penalty have been prosecuted, with more than 120 offenders prosecuted in the last 12 months. All those convicted were fined, as well as being told to pay the council’s costs and a victim surcharge. The cases included 25 for littering, one for fly posting and two for distributing free literature without a permit. The total figure from the convictions including all fines, costs and surcharges was £9,581.33.
