North Lincolnshire Council has issued hundreds of fines in recent months as part of its campaign to tackle littering and anti-social behaviour.
In August, 177 penalties were handed out, with most focused on Scunthorpe town centre. Offences included dropping litter, begging, cycling in restricted zones, and drinking alcohol in the street.
The council spends more than £1m a year keeping public spaces clean and manages over 4,000 bins across the area. Officials say the investment is aimed at making it easier for people to dispose of rubbish responsibly while discouraging nuisance behaviour.
The latest figures follow summer patrols that concentrated on hotspots for street drinking and other issues in Scunthorpe. Enforcement teams are now extending their presence across towns and rural areas.
The authority has made clear it intends to continue backing residents and businesses who take pride in their communities, while targeting those whose actions undermine public spaces. The approach is part of wider efforts to create cleaner, safer environments across North Lincolnshire.
