A man has been fined hundreds of pounds after getting caught on CCTV throwing chicken bones and paper out of his car.
Mr Sulman was issued with a fixed penalty notice after Harrow Council captured the footage in Mollison Way, Edgware, in November 2016.
However, he failed to pay the fine, despite a reminder and was subsequently ordered to pay £508 at Willesden Magistrates Court, after pleading guilty to littering.
Sulman was caught opening his car door and flinging chicken bones into the road seven times before tossing the empty carton out the door.
The footage also showed him dropping a cigarette butt in the street before walking away.
Simon Baxter, divisional director for environment and culture, said the man’s actions were a “lack of respect” for the neighbourhood.
He said: “I don’t have a problem with people enjoying their meal. What I do have a problem with is people making our borough dirty and the taxpayer having to clear up after their mess.
“It was pure laziness and lack of respect for his neighbourhood on Sulman’s part and it cost him dear. We’ll do the same with anyone else hindering our efforts to make Harrow clean.”
