The council has warned people in Hull to dispose of their litter responsibly if they want to avoid a fine or prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes after seven residents who failed to pay their fines were recently convicted in Hull Magistrates’ Court and were ordered to pay a totalling cost of \u00a33172.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment at Hull City Council, said: \u201cWe know that most residents in Hull take care of our city and dispose of their litter responsibly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“However, there are still individuals who think it\u2019s acceptable to throw down litter \u2013 It makes the city look unsightly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seven people who were convicted littered in Mount Pleasant, Goodhart Road, Hassle Road, Holderness Road and Beverley Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were issued a criminal record and ordered to pay fines which totalled \u00a33172, which is about \u00a3453 per person on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Quinn emphasised that the council believes that all littering should not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: “By taking enforcement action, we want to make it absolutely clear that littering will not be tolerated. To avoid being fined or prosecuted, we urge residents to always dispose of their rubbish properly and in accordance with the law.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
