Every London borough now has the power to fine people for spitting in public after Communities Secretary Eric Pickles last month agreed to a fixed £80 penalty scheme drawn up by London Councils.
Three London councils have begun fining people for spitting in the street. Newham is apparently coining it in.
Following a Freedom of Information request, it can be revealed that the three boroughs who have already introduced bans have fined 689 people up to £55,120.

Does Haringey have the courage to follow suit, or will they say ( as has been said on here some time ago ) that it would infringe the rights of certain cultural groups ?

Gobbing in the road is not a crime. If you have to do it, keep it off the pavement. Ditto vomit. Even the most falling-down-pissed drunk can aim at the kerb. I don't mind gob on my car tyres, I hate it on my shoes. Or my kids' shoes, more dangerous still.
