Liverpool City Council are set to hike up various public fines.
Under the new proposals, anyone found dropping litter will be hit with a £150 financial penalty, which stands at almost double the current rate of £80.
A 14-day early payment will see that fee reduced to £100, still a £20 mark-up.
Graffiti and fly-posting is also set to see fines doubling to £200 as part of the plans which will be voted on by the council’s cabinet on Tuesday (June 3).
Dog owners who do not clean up after their pets risk seeing a £100 charge imposed, which represents a rise on the existing sanction of £80.
The local authority previously sought to incentivise residents by offering a year’s free council tax for any information that led to a dog fouling conviction.
But the radical scheme proposed under former leader Joe Anderson was later scaled back due to concerns that it was ‘improper’ and potentially illegal.
The council are looking at deploying an external company to enforce fines as part of a three-year contract with a currently unnamed firm.
Last month, the cabinet voted to end free evening street parking in Liverpool city centre despite overwhelming public opposition to the proposals.
