Fixed Penalty Notices
Craigavon Borough Council has a zero tolerance policy in relation to all litter offences detected. A person detected throwing down any type of litter, even a cigarette butt, will receive a £50 Fixed Penalty Fine.
Upon receiving a Fixed Penalty Notice the person has fourteen days to pay. The fine can be paid by post, by sending a cheque or postal order, made payable to Craigavon Borough Council, and sent to Craigavon Civic and Conference Centre, Lakeview Road, Craigavon, BT64 1AL. Payment can also be made in person at the address on the notice, by cheque, postal order, cash or credit card. Credit card payments can also be accepted by telephoning 028 3833 9031 or 028 3831 2538.
A Fixed Penalty fine does not carry a criminal record and need not be disclosed on official application forms.
Failure to pay a Fixed Penalty fine will result in a court summons being issued. Conviction for a litter offence in court does carry a criminal record.
