A Bromley man received a fine for failing to cooperate with an investigation into a fly-tipping incident.
The council sent these notices regarding a fly-tipping incident. Someone dumped green waste from a vehicle on Barnfield Road in August 2024.
The notices asked James for details about the driver and the dumper. He needed to name those responsible for the incident.
Because James failed to respond, the court issued a fine. He must pay £440 as a fine, along with £423 in costs and a victim surcharge of £176.
The council has reminded residents to reply to legal enquiries, stressing the importance of cooperation. Fly-tipping remains a problem, the council says, as it looks bad and can be risky.
Bromley council wants to clear dumped rubbish and investigates these incidents thoroughly. Replying to official letters is crucial as it helps the investigations proceed efficiently.
Ignoring such letters is an offense, and the council warns that prosecution will follow. People can easily report fly-tipping on the council website.
You can also include photos in your report to help them understand the issue better. If a road is blocked, call them for urgent attention.
