 The council says it spends �1m per year keeping the city clean |
City rangers in Gloucester are to be given head-worn cameras to gather video evidence of people dropping litter. Since June the city has adopted a "zero-tolerance" approach and money from the �75 on-the-spot fines has been used to fund the new cameras.
Video evidence from the cameras will be used in court if the fine is not paid and the council decides to prosecute.
A council spokesman said there would be "no escape" for people who treat the city as a giant dustbin.
"The message is simple - don't throw litter on the streets of Gloucester otherwise you'll pay heavily."
