MAN has been fined for littering after throwing his parking fine out of his car in an Ammanford car park.
He was issued with a Penalty Charge Notice for contravening parking regulations in Margaret Street car park.
A witness saw him throw the ticket out of his car as he was driving out of the car park and reported him to the council.
He has now been issued with a fixed penalty notice for £75 for the litter offence as well.
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “I hope this sends out the message that people cannot get away with breaking the law in this way.
“The man thought he could get away with avoiding a fine for the parking offence by throwing the ticket away; but now he has incurred a further ticket for dropping litter.
“This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and action will be taken against offenders.”
This is the second time in the last three months someone has been fined for littering after throwing away a Penalty Charge Notice.
