Warning as new team patrolling streets can hand out £150 litter fines

A warning has been issued as a new litter enforcement team is set to increase patrols in an area of Merseyside.

Knowsley Council confirmed they will be appointing a specialist enforcement team in a bid to crack down on litter. Officers from National Enforcement Solutions will work alongside the council’s environmental enforcement team in the hopes of keeping the borough litter free.

Teams will be patrolling streets across the borough every day and can issue fixed penalty notices of £150 to people caught littering. They can also issue fines to those failing to clean up after their dog or other environmental offences.
