PEMBROKESHIRE County Council has revealed more than 80 fines have already been handed out two days into a new litter-fighting scheme.

A total of 85 fixed penalty notices have been handed out by enforcement officers on Monday, September 10 and Tuesday, September 11.

On Monday 42 penalties were handed out and another 43 on Tuesday, which could potentially generate £12,750 for the council.

Enforcement officers can give on-the-spot fines of up to £150 depending on the offence. This can be reduced to £75 if paid within 10 days.

Fixed penalty notices can be given to people spotted dropping litter - including dropping cigarette ends - or allowing dog-fouling, as well as those responsible for fly-posting, graffiti, and anti-social behaviour.

The council has said that anyone who refuses to pay their fixed penalty will be prosecuted.
