Merton Council have named and shamed over one hundred people for littering Merton Streets.
The council has published the names of over 100 people who were issued with an £80 Fixed Penalty Notices since April 2017 but who did not pay it on time and have had to pay out £400 following prosecution.
Cabinet Member for Street Cleanliness and Parking Councillor Ross Garrod said: “We know that the majority of our residents care about the borough and work hard to keep Merton’s streets clean.
“Merton is a great place for families where they can enjoy a good quality of life and that is the reason we take a zero tolerance approach to the small minority of people who litter and fly tip in Merton.
“Our naming and shaming demonstrates that we will not tolerate littering in our borough.”
Over 5,300 £80 Fixed Penalty Notices have also been issued to people caught dropping litter on the streets of Merton over the last 11 months.
