Dropping a cigarette end in Parliament Street was among the offences which attracted a £50 fixed penalty notice from Ramsey’s town warden during the past month.

Others include: failing to pick up dog faeces; allowing a dog to be at large in the courthouse grounds; exercising a dog on the rugby pitch; and allowing a dog to be exercised within Mooragh Park.

The commissioners have placed on record that a concerted effort is being made to keep the town clean.
