Thanet
District Council continues its hard work to ensure that fly-tippers are
convicted for their offences. Two men from Ramsgate and Cliftonville
both appeared in court early last week admitting to two separate
fly-tipping offences. Both men have been prosecuted and fined, after
pleading guilty.
On Tuesday 2nd
April, Canterbury Magistrates’ Court heard David Orr (29) of Flora
Road, admit to dumping multiple black sacks of rubbish onto land leading
from Pegwell Road to Coastguard Cottages (Pegwell Bay) on 8th
October 2012. He said that he had picked up the waste but given it to
someone to dispose of. He was later prosecuted for fly-tipping.
On
the same date at Canterbury Magistrates’ Court Mr Dezider Tancos (24)
of Surrey Road, also admitted to a separate offence whereby he dumped
two mattresses on the street (Surrey Road), nearby his flat in
Cliftonville on 22nd November 2012.
Mr Orr received a conditional discharge for one year and was fined £679.08 in clear-up costs plus a victim surcharge of £15.00.
Mr
Tancos also received a conditional discharge for six months and was
fined £471.15 for clear-up costs plus £15.00 victim surcharge.

District Councils, Corporate and Regulatory Services Manager, Harvey
Patterson, said; “We will not allow Thanet to be spoiled by such
anti-social behavior. Any form of fly-tipping is totally unacceptable
and the council will not hesitate to prosecute offenders.
“We hope that both prosecutions will act as a deterrent to anyone considering the same actions.”
