Website upgrade on Tuesday 23 June

What we are doing to upgrade our website to improve accessibility and security for customers.

Litter

Litter can include all sorts of items such as sweet wrappers, fast food packaging, cigarette butts and chewing gum.

What you can report

Use this form to tell us about:
 

  • litter build up outside a property, or
  • large amounts of litter on the street.
     

Please note, we collect small amounts of litter on our regular street cleansing rounds.

Littering fines

If a waste enforcement officer sees you littering you will receive a Fixed Penalty Notice of £150. You will also receive an FPN if you are seen littering from a vehicle.

If you have received a Fixed Penalty Notice you can pay by credit or debit card using our secure online payment system. Before you start you will need your Fixed Penalty Notice number to hand.

You have 14 days to pay a fixed penalty notice. If it is not paid, we will take further legal action through the Magistrates Courts.

You cannot appeal a Fixed Penalty Notice with the council. If you feel that you should not have received the notice, your opportunity to disagree would be through the Magistrates Court.
