A man has been fined a total of £3,765 after he was caught on CCTV camera dumping a large load of furniture at a block of flats in Lincoln.

 

Appearing at Lincoln Magistrate’s Court, Marcus Fravigar was found guilty of dumping six sofas, sofa parts, two armchairs and a sofa bed at Shuttleworth House from February 25 to March 30 last year.

 

Francesca Bell, service manager for public protection and anti-social behaviour, said: “City of Lincoln Council takes fly tipping very seriously as it is not only unsightly, but it is dangerous to the public and wildlife in the area," 

 

“As we can see from this case where we have identified the perpetrators, the necessary steps are taken by the council to fully investigate a case and take robust enforcement action where evidence permits.

 

“We encourage instances of fly tipping such as these to be reported, particularly where the public may have witnessed the offence or have information that may identify the perpetrator.

 

“Dumping waste only encourages others to dump theirs, allowing the problem to grow in certain areas of the city, so it’s important that we work together to tackle fly tipping and create a nicer environment in the city for everyone.”
