A woman has been fined £400 by her council after she collected litter and put it in a bin outside her home. It turns out animals pulled the rubbish out and the council had gone through it, found her address and accused her of fly tipping.
A woman has been fined £400 by her council after she collected litter and put it in a bin outside her home.
She said: ‘Our rubbish is contained in a plastic bag, and we have foxes and seagulls here that rip the bags open. By clearing up other people’s broken egg shells and litter from outside her flat, putting it in a council waste bag, and leaving it in a council bin, she had reportedly broken section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
There are no options available to appeal the fine, however, so her only option is taking the National Enforcement Solution to court.‘I’m an entertainer and I’ve lost all my work – a £400 fine for anybody is a lot of money,’ she said.
