Less than half of litter fines paid, report finds

A new waste management report has found that less than half of all litter fines issued by local authorities over a five-year period have been paid.
The Public Waste, Out of Sight, Out of Mind report by the charity Voice found that only 43% of all litter fines issued from 2012 to 2017 have been paid, equating to just 21,310 out of almost 50,000 fines issued.
