Police are joining with Environmental Services with the view to cleaning up the Hilton beat area.
The joint patrols have been initiated by concerns raised from Community Councils and the general public and will aim to see improvements of the tidiness of the Hilton area for memebrs of the community.
If you are caught responsible for dog fowling, fly tipping or general littering you will face on-the-spot fines for up to 150 and if not paid in the allowed time could face a report going to the Procurator Fiscal.
The dedicated patrols started 27th May 2009 and will hope to improve these acts of anti-social behaviour over the coming months.
