A recently widowed, 73-year-old Sliema resident was enjoying a cigarette on a sunny morning in St Anne’s Square, Sliema, when she erroneously dropped it on the paving.

Little did she know that her absent-mindedness would cost her €60! What a shame that our efforts to control litter are not better managed and directed.

Sliema’s streets and pavements are full of litter. Yet, this woman received a fine for dropping her cigarette on the pavement.
