Accidental Litterbug of the Day: Pensioner Valerie George was left shocked after she received a £75 littering fine for a piece of fluff that fell from her glove.
The 71-year-old, whose weekly retirement stipend is a meager £105, was walking along a shopping street in her hometown of Brynmawr, Gwent, when a loose ball of thread tumbled from her glove onto the sidewalk.
She was immediately approached by a council environment officer, and slapped with a fine.
“I caught my watch on my glove and didn’t even notice the cotton fall,” said George, who called the fine “ridiculous.”
Blaenau Gwent Council agreed to rescind the fine, but maintained that an offense “was committed.”
