Manchester City Council’s Environmental Crimes team secured four prosecutions in November, with the total penalties handed down totalling almost £10,000.
The fines, handed to two businesses from Rusholme and Withington plus two Manchester residents, follow successful investigations from the team, which was established in 2016 to strengthen the city’s fly-tipping enforcement operation - gathering the evidence needed to identify offenders and take them to court.
The highest fine went to 360 (Rusholme) Ltd, which was ordered to pay £6,100 by magistrates for a large-scale dump of its commercial waste on Vauxhall Street, Cheetham.
The company, registered to an address on Wilmslow Road, failed to send an appropriate representative to an interview under caution and also failed to attend two hearings at Manchester Magistrates Court.
