An Ammanford man has been fined for dropping a serviette in the town’s Quay Street.
Llanelli Magistrates Court convicted Richard Lloyd Ellis in his absence last Friday of an offence of littering.
The court heard that on Tuesday February 16 this year 23-year-old Ellis was seen by Carmarthenshire County Council environmental enforcement officers to drop a serviette onto the ground in Quay Street. He was issued with a £75 fixed penalty notice which he failed to pay.
Ellis, of Tan y Fan, Capel Hendre, was fined £220 and ordered to pay £239 costs and a £22 victim surcharge.
Council executive board member for environmental and public protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “Our officers carry out patrols across the county and will take action against anyone who is seen dropping litter. The council has made it a priority to keep the county clean for both residents and visitors.”
