SMOKERS caught dropping cigarette butts will face hefty fines in a bid to clean-up the streets of Banbury.
At a meeting of the executive on Monday, Cherwell district councillors agreed financial penalties should be imposed on smokers dropping butts on the ground.
Authorised council employees will be given new powers to hand out penalties of £75 to offenders seen littering, which will be reduced to £50 if paid within seven days.
