Littering
Littering comes under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and
Clean Neighbourhood and Environment Act 2005.
Throwing litter is unacceptable. It creates a dirty, unsightly
environment and attracts rodents. Chewing gum and cigarette ends
are classed as litter so please use the bins provided or dispose of
litter sensibly.
Anyone caught littering may receive a fixed penalty notice of
£80 or prosecuted through the courts.
Graffiti
Graffiti is a nuisance to remove and can cause offence.
The council has a specialist team whose job it is to clean up
unsightly graffiti and fly posting around the city. We can
advise on the removal of fly posters and graffiti and we
can arrange for graffiti to be removed.
Anyone caught doing Graffiti is likely to receive a fixed
penalty fine of £80 or maybe prosecuted through the courts.
