Four people fined for flytipping in Bury

Four people have been fined for dumping their waste on the streets of Bury.

Fixed penalty notices of £400 were served on three of them for offences of fly-tipping at Wash Lane, Bury; Hurst Street, Bury; and Rainsough Brow, Prestwich (pictured).

A fourth person was fined £75 for littering at Haslam Street, Bury.

More than 200 fines have been issued for littering and fly-tipping across Bury in the last three years, and more than 20 people have been prosecuted in court.

Councillor Alan Quinn said: “Fly-tipping is a crime, and offenders know exactly what they are doing. That’s why we will take action against these people who choose to blight our borough.”

Fly-tipping is illegally dumped rubbish on a road, pavement, or open space. It can come from a household or a business, and the amount of dumped rubbish can range from one bag to a large lorry load.
