Probably this old lady was the highest profile character they could find who would make the headlines?
I agree with prevoius postings that the take away's should be targeted and if a piece of wrapping carrying the name of such as Burger King or Mc Donalds found in the street constituted a litter offence and a fine for every piece found carried a fine.....that would earn more money for the council than a mere fag end.
I do mean a fine for the company and not the individual.
I would hazzard a guess that more of this litter is dumped on the streets in one week that fag ends in one year.

Why on earth should the company be held liable for a person's litter, although I do know that Maccies clear on a regular basis.
Do we extend this to every single business that sells something? Shall we target everywhere that sells ice lollies coz people drop the wrappers, or any any shop that sells something where the purchaser takes an item out of a bag and discards it once out of the shop?
Litter is the individual person's responsibility.
Are you suggesting the firm trawl the town looking for their empties?
