Council fines have been slammed on two women who threw cigarette butts from their car windows.

Two women who flicked butts from their window were told to pay up £50 by Thurrock Council.

A fixed penalty notice was issued to a 44-year-old woman from Stanford-le-Hope after she was spotted throwing the butt while driving round the Orsett Cock roundabout in July.

She paid the £50 fine.

A woman from South Ockendon was also seen throwing a butt from her car at the Treacle Mine roundabout in Grays at its junction with Long Lane in June.

She also paid the £50 fixed penalty notice.
