A fly-tipper who dumped tyres and old carpets in a Redbridge alleyway ended up with £800 worth of fines and a crushed van after being tracked down by Redbridge Council and hit with enforcement action.
The culprit was brought to justice after footage emerged of his van being used on two separate occasions to dump rubbish in an alleyway backing onto houses in Barkingside.
Among the rubbish found fly-tipped was filled sacks, old carpets and four vehicle tyres.
It wasn’t long before the Council’s Enforcement Team were able to link the offending van to a local address as part of their investigation. Further enquiries revealed that another vehicle, also linked to fly-tipping incidents in the borough, was
also connected to the address.
In a joint operation with the Police, the council seized both vehicles under section 34 Environmental Protection Act 1990, as Enforcement Officers continued to track down the vehicle owners.
The owner of the van was eventually traced and interviewed under caution, during which he admitted to fly-tipping in the alleyway, landing him with two fines totalling £800.
His seized van was also crushed after he failed to collect it within the designated time frame.
The second seized vehicle, for which an owner could not be traced, was also crushed.
Redbridge Cabinet Member for Environment and Civic Pride Cllr Jo Blackman, said: “Redbridge is our home, and no one has the right to dump rubbish on our streets. The council takes tough action against anyone caught fly-tipping, and in this case the
fly-tipper ended up losing both his money, and his van. This could have been easily avoided as there are lots of different ways you can dispose of rubbish responsibly and legally in the borough.”

Was he also dumping chav-cycles?
Yes?
No?
Unless the answer is "Yes", your post is just another of your off-topic troll-rants.
Isn't it?
Eighteen days to go.
