Gloucestershire woman ordered to pay hundreds for fly-tipping
She was fined £180, ordered to pay £100 in costs and a victim surcharge of £80.
A woman from South Gloucestershire has been prosecuted for waste offences and ordered to pay £360 following a fly-tipping incident near North Street in Oldland Common.
On 14 November 2024, mixed household waste including children’s toys, clothing, and general rubbish was found dumped on a path running alongside the railway line just off North Street.
Paige Allen of North Street, Oldland Common pleaded guilty at Bristol Magistrates Court on 18 August to failing in her duty of care when disposing of waste and failing to attend an interview in relation to the fly-tip.
Councillor Sean Rhodes, cabinet member responsible for environmental enforcement at South Gloucestershire Council, said: “This successful prosecution sends a clear message that we will not tolerate fly-tipping in South Gloucestershire."
