Bridlington Woman Fined by Court for Fly-tipping

A woman from Bridlington has been ordered to pay a total of £1,375.04 for fly-tipping rubbish next to wheelie bins.

Kirsty Hall, of Bessingby Gate, Bridlington, dumped bags of household waste next to bins near her home in the town.

Hall did not appear at court and did not enter a plea, so the case was heard in her absence at Beverley Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 31 January.

For abandoning waste, she was fined £660 and was ordered to pay £451.05 costs and a £264 victim surcharge.

The court heard the bags of household waste were found next to bins in Bessingby Gate on 24 April last year.

Streetscene enforcement officers from East Riding of Yorkshire Council found evidence in the bags relating to Hall’s address.

The council sent letters to Hall but received no response, and therefore the case was taken to court.

The council says:

"Residents are reminded they are responsible for disposing of their own waste properly and legally by using household bins provided or taking larger items of waste to their local household waste recycling site, which in this case is nearby in Carnaby."

Carl Skelton, director of streetscene services at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said:

“Reports of fly-tipping from the public are extremely important is helping us find those responsible.

“We will continue to investigate every incident of fly-tipping reported to us and always take action when we can.”

Anyone caught fly-tipping could be ordered to pay a £400 fixed penalty notice or the case could be taken to court, where they face an unlimited fine or even imprisonment.

For more information or to report any fly-tipping or suspicious activity to the council, contact 01482 393939 or at www.eastriding.gov.uk/fly-tipping  

People are asked not to touch any fly-tipped waste or approach anyone they see fly-tipping.
