Pensioner faces £75 fine for dropping someone else's litter

Bridget Molyneux thought she was in luck when she spotted what looked like a £5 note lying on the ground.

She bent down to pick it up but, realising it was actually a till receipt, the grandmother dropped it again.



However, a council street warden saw her do so - and gave her a £75 fine for littering.

If she does not pay the fine within 14 days, she could be liable for one of £2,500 and a criminal record.
