Man fined for Llanelli litter offence
A man has been fined after being caught throwing litter from a car in Llanelli’s Parc Trostre.
Council environmental enforcement officers were on patrol at the retail park on Sunday.
A fixed penalty notice for £75 was issued to a 29-year-old man who was seen throwing fast food packaging from a car parked in the B&Q car park.
Failure to pay could result in prosecution in the magistrates court and a maximum penalty of £2,500.
It is hoped the fine will act as a warning to would-be litterbugs that this type of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
The council’s executive board member for the environment Councillor Philip Hughes said: “There is no excuse for littering our streets, if there are no bins nearby, then take your rubbish home with you to dispose of. Saying it keeps someone in a job is just an excuse for those who are too lazy or just don’t care about where they live.
“The council’s environmental enforcement officers regularly patrol the county and anyone caught dropping litter is fined. We are determined to make Carmarthenshire a cleaner, greener and safer place to live for everyone.”
