TWO people have been prosecuted after failing to pay fixed penalty notices.
Penge residents Nadarajah Wesley and Gbeye Ayerite both pleaded guilty to littering offences when dealt with at Bromley Magistrates' Court.
Each was fined £100 and ordered to pay £200 costs and a £15 surcharge.
The fixed penalty notices were issued after bags of household rubbish were left on the pavement days before they were due to be collected.
When the fines were not paid, the two residents were taken to court.
Wesley, of Croydon Road, was sentenced on May 14, while Ayerite, of Maple Road, was dealt with on May 28.
Bromley Council waste and recycling contract manager John Bosley said: "To avoid the possibility of getting an £80 fixed penalty notice, residents should make sure their waste is suitably contained and left out on their usual collection day."
