Local Man Fined for Flytipping and Ignoring Fixed Penalty Notice

Gavin Morgan, 24, from Witchards, having pleaded guilty to flytipping by dumping five black sacks beside a garage block in Bardfields, Basildon, and neglecting to pay a fixed penalty notice of £75, received a fine of £190.

Council environmental enforcement officers rifled through the bags where they unearthed evidence linking them to Morgan. He confessed to dumping the sacks under interview and was given a fixed penalty notice of £75, which he failed to pay.

Consequently, his case went to Basildon Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty, was fined £25 and ordered to pay £150 costs plus a £15 victim surcharge.
