Carl Smith appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court after failing to pay a fixed penalty charge.

He pleaded guilty to littering at Bromley Magistrates’ Court and was ordered to pay a fine of £293, a surcharge of £117, and £423 in costs which is a total of £833.

His case is the 12th prosecution for littering made by Bromley Council since the start of September.

A council spokesperson said, “On behalf of residents, the council has street cleaning teams working seven days a week across the borough, keeping our streets neat. Littering undoes this work and is illegal, with our enforcement team issuing a fixed penalty notice to anyone seen littering. If payment is not received then prosecution will follow, with fines and costs being considerably higher than the fixed penalty notice.”
