A FLYTIPPER has been fined thousands for dumping waste in a woodland in Bucks.

Mansoor Hussain, 64, of Gosling Road, Slough, pleaded guilty to an offence of illegal dumping when he appeared at High Wycombe Magistrates Court on August 3, 2022.

The court heard how Hussain dumped waste at Middle Green Road, Middle Green on Thursday, March 17.

This included cabinet doors, paint pots, a footstall and a basketball hoop.

CCTV cameras managed to capture the flytipper in action, recording Hussain's vehicle carrying the waste at night and the driver filmed chucking it onto the ground.

Buckinghamshire Council’s enforcement team carries out regular surveillance at the location, due to the area being heavily blighted with fly-tipping.

Following this, Hussain attended an interview at Slough Police Station where he admitted to dumping the waste.

Magistrates fined Hussain £1,200 and ordered him to pay clean up and investigation costs of £415. A victim surcharge of £120 was also levied – making a total to pay of £1,735.

Jilly Jordan, Deputy Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment at Buckinghamshire Council, said: “This case should be a lesson to anyone who may be tempted to fly-tip in Buckinghamshire. Instead of disposing of his waste in the normal, legal way, this man decided to break the law and found to his detriment, that crime really doesn’t pay. His actions have cost him a hefty fine and a criminal record.

“Don’t be tempted to fly-tip, we can and will catch you and you will be prosecuted.”
