Discarding a cigarette butt on a Biddulph street has cost a woman over £400.
The woman, from Congleton, was fined in her absence for throwing down her cigarette on the pavement outside a shop on Lawton Street in Biddulph by Stafford magistrates after a Staffordshire Moorlands District Council enforcement officer witnessed the incident earlier this year. She was fined £200 and ordered to pay £200.82 in costs and a victim surcharge of £20.
