Litter warden swoops with £80 fine as toddler drops crisps

A council has apologised for issuing an £80 litter fine after a toddler dropped two crisps on the pavement.

Barbara Jubb's granddaughter, two-year-old Emily, dropped a packet of Quavers in Crawley, West Sussex.



Mrs Jubb, 57, picked up the bag but kicked two stray crisps into the gutter - and was given an on-the-spot fine by two council wardens.

"We have apologised to the family for being overzealous and are happy to have cancelled the fine," said the council.
