Basildon Woman Fined £150 for Dumping Refuse Sacks

Mrs Katie Currie, of Woolmer Green, Basildon has been fined £150 with a further £150 costs for dumping rubbish sacks in her street and failing to pay a fixed penalty notice.

She had previously been warned about putting out refuse sacks early when an enforcement officer found 8 sacks dumped in the street last August. They were traced to Mrs Currie and a fixed penalty notice was issued and delivered to her address.

No payment was received and a reminder was ignored. The council subsequently launched a prosecution under Section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The case was heard by Basildon magistrates on Thursday 20th. March.
