Crown Court sentence for fly-tipper

    A man who caused thousands of pounds worth of clean up costs due to fly-tipping is to be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court.

    Gerry McCann, 50, was caught on CCTV as he tipped van loads of building waste straight onto a street in West Bowling.

    Bradford Magistrates’ Court heard the clean up cost to Bradford Council amounted to £14,000.

    Mr McCann pleaded guilty to six offences of depositing controlled waste without a licence.

    Magistrates committed Mr McCann to the Crown Court for sentencing, saying that their powers were not sufficient in the case.

    He was bailed to appear at the court on 28 September.
