NAMED AND SHAMED: Sheffield litter louts ordered to pay almost £8k in fines
Sheffield City Council’s Environmental Protection Service has successfully prosecuted a further 21 people for littering.
Each of them were caught dropping litter on the street and offered the opportunity to pay a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN). However, they declined to do so, and so were taken before Sheffield Magistrates Court on Thursday, June 8.

Hide AdCouncillor Bryan Lodge, Cabinet Member for the Environment at Sheffield City Council, said: “I welcome these convictions and am pleased that the courts continue to support our strong efforts to keep Sheffield clean.
“While most people are rightly proud of our city and do their bit to keep it clean and tidy, there are a small minority of people who show no respect for the environment and continue to drop litter in the street.
“As these results clearly show, we will not tolerate such behaviour, and do take people to court when they refuse to pay a fixed penalty.”
During the last 12 months alone, Sheffield’s environmental enforcement officers have issued 656 such notices to people caught dropping litter.
