A FISHPONDS man who was seen throwing a cigarette butt down a drain has been ordered to pay £850.

Charles Holly, of Gill Avenue in Oldbury Court, was prosecuted by South Gloucestershire Council after its street enforcement officers saw him throw the cigarette in Moravian Road, Kingswood, and handed him a fixed penalty notice.

After he failed to pay the £150 charge, Bristol Magistrates Court ordered him to pay a £220 fine, £542 costs and an £88 victim surcharge for littering in February.

Speedwell woman Alison Godfrey, of Green Croft, was ordered to pay a total of £708 in fines and costs for a similar offence which happened in Regent Street, Kingswood, last June.
