Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

And about time too

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 ?

I don't always have a tissue to hand and sometimes need to relieve myself and make a point of doing so in the gutter. Being fined for doing this would be ridiculous.

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.
