Following the tragic death of our female beaver last week, we have made the very difficult decision to re-home our male beaver, Brian.

A couple who fly-tipped a sofa have ended up with big bills and criminal records following a hearing at Plymouth Magistrates Court earlier this week. 

More environmental offenders have been ordered to pay hundreds of pounds after their cases went before Plymouth Magistrates Court on Monday.

Firstly, the court heard how 15 offenders has been witnessed dropping or leaving litter on the streets of Plymouth by a Council environmental enforcement officer.

They were all handed Fixed Penalty Notices for £100 at the time of the offence. But following several reminders, the FPNs went unpaid and they were summonsed to court.

Nine environmental offenders have been forced to pay nearly £400 having been found guilty of littering at Plymouth Magistrates Court on Monday.

The court heard how each of them had been spotted dropping litter on the streets of Plymouth by a Council environmental enforcement officer.

Yet more litter louts have been before the courts this week, with some ordered to pay more than £450.

In all, nine cases were heard by Plymouth Magistrates Court on Monday.

The court heard how each had been witnessed dropping litter by one of the Council's environmental enforcement officers and issued with fixed penalty notices for £100.
