Fly-tippers fined by council

Two fly-tippers have been fined a total of £520 after rubbish was dumped in Crawley.

In July 2019, dumped trade waste from a London address was discovered at Buchan Park Kennels on Crawley Borough Council land.

When traced in April 2021, the man agreed to pay two Fixed Penalty Notices totalling £400 as an alternative to prosecution.

The second fly-tipper was seen dumping rubbish behind Langley Green Parade.  CCTV from nearby premises recorded the crime taking place.

He too, was issued with a £120 Fine.

Cllr Gurinder Jhans, Cabinet member for Environmental Services and Sustainability, said “These fines show that we take fly-tipping seriously; officers will investigate thoroughly to find out where the dumped material has come from and who has dumped it.”
