Highlights

  • Council spends over £30,000 yearly removing stubborn paan stains from streets and buildings.
  • Fines of up to £100 introduced for offenders caught spitting in Wembley, Alperton and Sudbury.
  • Health warnings issued as paan use linked to mouth and oesophageal cancers.
Brent Council is spending more than £30,000 yearly to clean up paan stains across the borough, as it launches a zero-tolerance approach to tackle the growing problem.

Paan, a chewing tobacco popular among the South East Asian community, leaves dark-red stains on pavements, telephone boxes and buildings across Wembley and surrounding areas. The mixture of betel nut and leaf, herbs and tobacco creates stains so stubborn that even high-powered cleaning jets struggle to remove them completely.

The council has installed warning banners in three hotspot areas and deployed enforcement officers who can issue fines of up to £100 to anyone caught spitting paan.
