Fly tipper order to pay over £2,000

Fly tipping in our borough will not be tolerated. Our Environmental Health team identify and fine or prosecute anyone found to have dumped waste illegally.

Last month, the council successfully prosecuted a man for fly tipping in the World’s End area in February 2024. 

The three offences he was charged with were fly tipping, failure to provide waste transfer notes and failing to attend council offices to give assistance.  

The council repeatedly attempted to contact the perpetrator and deal with the matter by way of a fixed penalty notice, but he failed to engage, and the case proceeded to court action.

The man pleaded guilty, and was ordered to pay the fines, costs and a victim surcharge totalling £2,330.Fly tipping is anti-social and can cause pollution of the environment. It's a physical danger to animals and humans and spoils local neighbourhoods and our quality of life.
