l GrEEN-FiNGErEd pupils at Normand Croft have turned over a new leaf by planting 30
trees in their school grounds. About 180 children at the West Kensington community school
planted a selection of wild cherry, rowan and silver birch trees on January 20. School office
manager Marie-Laure Mghabghab told h&f news: “The children really enjoyed the day and
learned how important it is to plant trees and to look after them as well.” Caroline Butcher

NO BUTS ABOUT IT:
The new ButtsOut personal ashtray

people were fined locally for
cigarette litter offences.
H&F cabinet member Greg
Smith said: “Cigarette litter
is a growing issue locally and
ButtsOut is an innovative way to
tackle the problem.
“While our street sweepers
clean literally millions of butts
from our roads and pavements,
you can do your bit by buying
one of these trendy boxes. It
really is a small price to pay to
keep our streets clean.”
While the council urges
smokers to buy a ButtsOut
personal ashtray, it is continuing
to proactively seek out persistent
butt-droppers and litter louts.
Beat officers are inspecting
every street in the borough – at
least once every 10 working days
– and key routes are checked daily,
meaning there is an increased
chance that litter bugs who do
not get the message will be penalised.
Officers from the council and
the Met Police’s Safer Neighbourhood
Teams regularly challenge
persistent litter-dropping
offenders, and have the power
to issue fixed penalty notices
of £75. If litter bugs refuse to
pay the fine they can end up
with a criminal record.
l ButtsOut ashtrays are
available from local shops
for 99p. If you want to quit
smoking, call 020 8741
