ONE of the litter agents causing controvers­y in Windsor was last week spotted throwing a cigarette butt on the floor while taking a break from handing out £100 fines to people for doing the same thing.

The enforcemen­t officer was spotted by The Mail on n Sunday in the car park k of Windsor Leisure Cenntre on Thursday morn- ing. After removing his jacket – bearing the logos of both his firm and Windsor council – he began puffing away.

Despite being just st yards from a litter bin, he chose to throw the e butt on the ground when he finished. Asked if the officer would face a fine, a Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead spokesman said: ‘If a ca case is proven, then yes. The council will be spe speaking to District Enforcemen­t and asking them to carry out a full investigat­ion into this matter.’ Warren Hodgson, environmen­tal division director at District Enforcemen­t, said said: ‘All complaints are fully i investigat­ed.’
