Fly tippers prosecuted

Two more fly-tippers prosecuted by Havering Council

Another two fly-tippers have appeared in court and received heavy fines in the latest success for the Cleaner Havering Campaign.

Mr Andi Pemaj, of Andi Contractor Ltd, a builder and decorator in Saville Road, Romford, appeared at Barkingside Magistrates Court on Friday 21 August. One of Mr Permaj's sub-contractors, who was working on an Andi Construction project dumped building waste in Bedfords Park (pictured), which was subsequently traced back to Mr Permaj's client by Council investigators.

Mr Permaj refused to name the contractor who dumped the waste, but pleaded guilty to knowingly allowing a fly-tip to happen, for which he had to pay £2,621 including a £750 fine, with a further fine of £750 for failing in a duty of care plus costs.

Domestic waste dumped

The second fly-tipper to be successfully prosecuted was Mr Trevor Dawson, of Barnstaple Road, Harold Hill, who dumped several black bags of domestic waste by trees near his home. Mr Dawson admitted the offence and accepted a Fixed Penalty Notice of £50, which he subsequently failed to pay. He was fined £150, with £442 costs and a £20 victim surcharge, which totalled £612.
