Watton Man Fined 100 After Throwing Cigarette On Grass

A man has been fined £100 for throwing a lit cigarette out of his car window. Breckland Council’s environmental enforcement team were working at Saham Toney, near Watton, on the afternoon of August 8 when they saw a driver throw a cigarette butt onto a grass patch. The council officer put out the cigarette and spoke to the driver, who eventually admitted the offence. The man was subsequently given a fixed penalty charge of £100 on the spot for littering. Ian Sherwood from Breckland Council said: “Litter on the roadside can turn our beautiful towns and villages into ugly messes and is completely unacceptable. “In this case, especially with the exceptional weather conditions we are experiencing, the partially lit cigarette could easily pose a fire threat to residents and local wildlife. “Thanks to the vigilance of our council staff and their swift intervention, the area was made safe and reminded the offender of the dangers of disposing of lit cigarettes.”
