Coun Terry Fox, cabinet member for environment and transport at Sheffield Council, said: “We are delighted that once again the courts continue to back the council’s strong approach to littering and other environmental crime.
“These cases demonstrate that we will take action against those who spoil our city.
“We are committed to keeping Sheffield clean and tidy for our residents, businesses and visitors.

In the last year environmental enforcement officers have issued more than 1,200 fixed penalty notices to people dropping litter across the city.
In most cases the individuals admitted the offence and paid the fixed penalty.
Those that did not pay the fixed penalty have been prosecuted, with more than 120 offenders prosecuted in the last 12 months.
