Litter
In Middlesbrough we are proud of the improvements we have made to our streets, and we take a tough line on litter by enforcing the law against anyone we catch spoiling our Town. Litter is unsightly, and it's against the law. If you drop litter you risk prosecution, with a maximum £2,500 fine in Court. Prosecution can be avoided by paying a fixed penalty of £80 (£50 if paid within 10 days).Link to pay litter fines online
