A woman who dumped bags of domestic waste at a local green space close to her home in Moston has been fined at court.
Elizabeth Doherty was prosecuted by Manchester City Council’s Environmental Crimes Team, after two separate fly-tipping incidents were reported to the council by local residents.
Officers working for the council found that more than 20 bags had been dumped at a green area just off Anfield Road.
Doherty was ordered to pay £2,186 at Manchester Magistrates Court.
Executive Member for Neighbourhoods, Councillor Rabnawaz Akbar, said: “To illegally dump waste in your own neighbourhood, particularly at a green space, is outrageous, so I'm glad that Ms Doherty has received a heavy financial penalty for these shockingly selfish offences.
“I’d like to thank the local residents who promptly reported the offences to us and our Environmental Crimes team for their continuing efforts to clamp down on fly-tippers.
“There is never any excuse for fly-tipping in Manchester and we will not stand by and let people get away with blighting our neighbourhoods through irresponsibly dumping their waste.”
