Homeowner Fined After Flytipping

A man has been fined £300 after rubbish removed from his house was dumped in Great Easton.

The garden and household waste was flytipped on Rockingham Road in the village and the home-owner from Kettering traced after an investigation by Harborough Council.

He is the fourth person to be fined in three months as part of the ‘Tip-Off’ campaign, aimed at reducing fly-tipping across the District.

Cllr Jonathan Bateman, Harborough District Council’s regulatory services lead, said: “Fly-tipping is unacceptable. This case highlights how important it is to check that anyone removing rubbish from your property is legally allowed to do so.”
