"We have the 3GS team who issue fixed penalty notices to people who drop litter but they also do some educational work to let people know there is a greener alternative than just dropping rubbish in the street," he said. In 2021, a total of 966 fixed penalty notices were issued, paying £51,985 in fines, while so far this year 740 people have been caught littering and £31,275 has been paid in fines.They recently secured six extra CCTV cameras to act as a deterrent in hotspot areas.
In addition, the team carries out preventative engagement work and has been working with around 2,000 households to let them know more about recycling.
