A Burnley man has been fined for dumping bags of rubbish in Pendle.
Dean Halstead, of Bentham Avenue, Burnley, pleaded guilty at Burnley Magistrates Court for dumping the waste in Wren Street, Nelson.
He was fined £120 and ordered to pay £200 costs, £24 compensation and a £48 victim surcharge, making a total amount of £392.
Leader of Pendle Borough Council, Councillor Asjad Mahmood said: “It is rewarding to see our officers clamping down on offenders, and especially people who come from other towns to dump waste on our streets.”
David Walker, Pendle Borough Council's Assistant Director of Operational Services, added: “This is another successful prosecution that gives us the opportunity to show the wider community that we take environmental crime very seriously and our officers are working very hard to bring offenders to task – even those that do not live in Pendle!”
Halstead, 37, appeared in court on Thursday, June 29, after being charged with the offence of dumping household waste in the Nelson street on August 17, 2022, in breach of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
