A local man and his company have been fined more than £4000 after admitting three flytipping offences in the Magistrates’ Court, following enforcement action by Norwich City Council.
Frankie Gunner admitted dumping waste without a permit between July last year and this February. He was ordered to pay £1223 in fines and costs, and his company – Norwich City Skimmers – was ordered to pay £2792.
He was also sentenced to 180 hours of unpaid work, to be completed within the next 12 months.
Councillor Emma Hampton, cabinet member for a climate responsive Norwich said: “Our Love Norwich campaign is taking tough action on offenders who blight our streets. We will pursue them through the courts where necessary, to hold them accountable for their careless and thoughtless actions.”
The Love Norwich campaign is part of the council’s commitment to build partnerships with residents and businesses to create real change where communities can take pride in their neighbourhoods.
