A woman has been ordered to pay nearly £2,000 after fly-tipping a pile of construction waste in South London. The dumped waste was found by Bromley Council officers in May this year where it was blocking a path leading to a plot on Oaklands Lane, Biggin Hill.
My guess is she didn't dump it personally, but employed a dodgy 'waste disposal' firm on social media...
Laura Estrada of Great Western Road in Western Park was prosecuted by the authority after she failed to respond to a legal notice asking her to provide information on the disposed rubbish.
And so she was summoned to court. And ignored that too.
Ms Estrada was found guilty in her absence at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on October 8.
What's the betting she'll ignore the demand for the fine as well?
Conservative Councillor Angela Page, executive councillor for public protection and enforcement, said: "We are tackling the menace of fly-tipping, with the support of residents. What may not be known is that as well as clearing reports of dumped rubbish, we also investigate who may have been responsible.These enquiries are legally significant, and recipients of notices requiring information that may assist in such investigations are required by law to respond or face prosecution, which has happened in this example."
Good luck with getting that fine paid, Angela!
