Luton man fined for fly-tipping in Milton Keynes

A man from Luton has been fined for dumping rubbish illegally in Milton Keynes.  

Following an investigation by Milton Keynes City Council, the case was brought to Milton Keynes Magistrates Court where the offender pleaded guilty to illegally dumping a sack containing car parts in a car park in Central Milton Keynes.  

The offender has been fined a total of £1,100 in fines and costs, after the Court heard that CCTV cameras captured the vehicle being parked and the sack left on the verge.

He was fined £461 and ordered to pay the City Council’s legal and investigation costs of £486 and a victim surcharge of £184. 

Cllr Jennifer Wilson-Marklew, Cabinet Member for the Public Realm, said, “We will not tolerate fly tipping in our city and take action to crack down on offenders wherever we can. In the last two years we’ve taken just under 1,000 environmental crime cases to court and issued over 9,000 Fixed Penalty Notices. We’ll continue to work with our partners to track down the offenders who disrespect our green spaces and communities.”
