This Council appreciates the initiative of those litter pickers across Medway who have set up voluntary groups to remove litter and restore Medway’s clean streets together with the efforts of our own street scene team and our community wardens. We hope to reinforce the idea that residents and visitors to Medway should not litter and there will be consequences for their actions, helping to maintain Medway as a family & child-friendly city.
To support this aim, we, as a Council, commit to advertising the below fines on our Council owned assets:
This Council agrees to advertising these fines on our assets, as appropriate and that this will have a marked impact on helping to keep Medway a clean and welcoming place.
