The fight against litter in the Mansfield area has been stepped-up, with the introduction of two specialist cleaning teams. The so-called Grime-busters will operate in streets and public spaces in Mansfield Woodhouse and Warsop.
It is the latest in a series of high-profile schemes to tackle litter in the district.
The issue is a top priority for the mayor in his four-year plan and �300,000 has been set aside to deal with it.
Penalty notices
The local council has already handed out 11 on-the-spot fines to people caught dropping litter in the town centre.
Twenty-nine fixed penalty notices have also been issued for fly-tipping.
Now, in Mansfield Woodhouse and Warsop, cleaning teams will be responsible for removing things like litter, leaves and fly posters.
Four other teams will be launched in the next few weeks.
