Litter campaign targets smokers
No Ifs - No Butts campaign poster
The council spends �1m a year cleaning the city's streets
A new poster campaign in Gloucester warns the city's smokers that a dropped butt will lead to a �75 fine if they are caught.

The No Ifs - No Butts series of posters is part of an ongoing drive to stop people dropping rubbish on streets.

The council currently spends �1m a year clearing rubbish from the city and has increased fines from �50 to �75.

The no-tolerance approach comes after a period of informing the public about the cost of littering.
