"No person shall (except by permission in writing of
the owner or occupier, or of the person or
authority having control thereof, or unless authorised
by law to do so) place or deposit and leave on or in -
(a) any highway or roadside waste, or any unfenced
ground abutting on any highway;
(b) any of the lands devastated by enemy action
described in the Schedule to this byelaw if a
notice stating the effect of this byelaw is
conspicuously exhibited on such land;
(c) any common, park, recreation ground or other
open space to which the public have access for
the time being; or
(d) any water, watercourse, or ditch in or abutting
on any such highway roadside waste or other
place aforementioned,
any rubbish or waste or discarded matter whatsoever so
as to create or tend to create a litter.
Provided that where an offence is committed against this
byelaw and against any byelaw with respect to any
pleasure ground, public walk, recreation ground, park,
roadside waste, common, or open space, or any limitation
or condition imposed by the Minister of Agriculture and
Fisheries under Section 193 of Law of Property
Act, 1925, a person shall not be liable to more than
one penalty in respect of the same offence.
Any person offending against this byelaw shall be liable
on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding five
pounds.
Paragraph (b) of this byelaw shall cease to have effect
after the 4th day of October, 1952, unless a byelaw
continuing it in force has been duly made and comes
into force before that date."
From and after the date upon which this byelaw shall
come into operation the byelaw relating to littering
of streets made by the Council of the Royal Borough
of Kensington on 25th March, 1930, shall be and
is hereby repealed.
Before the byelaw can apply to any particular bombed site, a
notice stating this fact must be exhibited thereon. Instructions
were given by the Council to exhibit notices on twenty-two of
the sites in the borough. It is too early to say whether the
byelaw will effectively prevent the use of these sites as
dumping grounds for rubbish.
