When you've finished with your chewing gum, do you put it in the bin? Or are you guilty of dropping it on the pavement like many others?

It may seem like an inconsequential act but it's littering, is against the law and and if you're caught in the act you could face a fixed penalty fine of £75.

Lucy Owen took a trip toÌýCaernarfon for X-Ray and met Iona Lewis Thomas from Gwynedd Council's initiative. SheÌýinformed Lucy that while an average piece of chewing gum would cost you about three pence, it costs Welsh councilsÌýapproximately 10-12 pence to clean up each single piece of gum off the street.
