A WASTE carrier has been fined for fly tipping after a prosecution was brought by Eastbourne Borough Council’s Neighbourhood First Team.
Andreas Devall, 30, of Farne Close, Hailsham, pleaded guilty at Hastings Magistrates Court to flytipping on December 13 last year.
Devall had charged customers to remove waste from their property before illegally dumping the items at two locations off Hawkhurst Close, Langney.
He was fined £320 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £32 as well as full costs to the council of £1,696.
Eastbourne Borough Council’s Neighbourhood First team works with the community to improve the neighbourhood.
It helps with issues such as flytipping, dog fouling, littering and street cleaning, abandoned vehicles and fallen-down trees.
Councillor Jonathan Dow, cabinet portfolio holder for place services, said: “Our Neighbourhood First team is leading the way on tackling this problem and this should be a warning to anyone who illegally dumps waste.
“We will take immediate action when a report of flytipping is received.”
Anyone with information on flytipping can report it online at lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk.
