Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey council fines pub goers for dropping cig butts...in Crouch End
From the Haringey Independent
Three smokers have been fined for throwing cigarette butts on the street outside pubs and clubs.
The trio were slapped with fines of £75 each during the operation to tackle cigarette butt litter and illegal street trading.
Haringey Council officers carried out the operation alongside Stroud Green Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT) in Crouch End after residents complained. (well I've complained and publicly)
Pubs and clubs had previously been reminded to place cigarette litter bins outside their premises for customers to dispose of cigarette butts.
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 dropping litter is punishable by a fixed penalty of £75 or prosecution, with a maximum fine of £2,500.

You will of course note WHERE this operation took place...perhaps we'll see enforcement outside the Salisbury and checking the bookies very soon? What do you think?

Lots of new council cig bins are on their way but unfortunately they are replacing the steam engine whistle ones that were piloted on Green Lanes. I think this is because that type all jammed up and then caught fire. Shame because I liked the look of them. The new type can be seen on St Ann's Rd - ugly but functional. Let's campaign to have have lighters attached to them.

Frank, your knowledge and interest in bins is a revelation. I am wondering if this reflects a professional or purely personal interest. My fascination with bins is purely that of the amateur :)
