Fly-tipper is fined after he's caught on camera
12:50pm Tuesday 20th March 2007
A WIRRAL man has been found guilty of fly-tipping offences.
Paul Tyson, of Buchanan Road, Wallasey, appeared at Birkenhead Magistrates Court last week on two counts of illegal fly-tipping.
"There is no excuse - Wirral is well served with waste reception centres."
David Green
The court heard that Tyson was caught by Wirral Council officers on CCTV camera dumping rubbish on Old Gorsey Lane, Wallasey, on two separate occasions in September, 2006.
Tyson admitted both charges, but told the court that not all the rubbish found at the site was his.
He was fined £250 on each charge and was ordered to pay £430 costs. David Green, Wirral's director of technical services, said: "Wirral takes fly tipping extremely seriously and will not hesitate to prosecute in cases such as this which can result in a court case and hefty fine.
"Our enforcement officers are working hard to protect our environment and prevent people from committing these offences. There is no excuse - Wirral is well served with waste reception centres around the borough and there is the free ERIC service if people need to dispose of large objects."
For information on fly tipping and disposal, call Wirral Council Streetscene on 0151 606 2004.

Then again, the former Bidston Dock & area around West Float, right between the two locations in question, are hardly a picture of outstanding natural beauty - so what are the enforcement officers going to do about that? Perhaps they just like to take on the lesser problems?
