Limassol follows Nicosia lead on litter fines

FOLLOWING Nicosia’s lead, Limassol municipality has decided to impose £20 fines on people caught littering public places.

Nicosia Municipal employees have for the past fortnight been handing out dummy £20 tickets as a warning to litter bugs. From March 1, the £20 fines will be for real.

And now trash offenders in the island’s largest port city can expect to get their comeuppance in exactly the same manner, Limassol municipality has announced.

The fines will be mere warnings till the Spring only, the municipality said. After that, anyone not paying up can expect to face court action.
