Council had initially defended the fixed-penalty penalty issued to Burcu Yesilyurt near Richmond station

A woman from west London who was fined £150 for pouring the dregs of her morning coffee down a street drain has had the penalty revoked after a council review.

Three enforcement officers stopped Burcu Yesilyurt near Richmond station on 10 October and handed her a fixed-penalty notice on her way to work.
