Two fly-tippers had to cough up over £2,000 after they dumped rubbish in a park.

At a hearing at Thames Magistrates Court earlier this month Clement Okoye was fined for leaving a large pile of rubbish on Wanstead Flats.

The 42-year-old from Leyton had to pay £819 in costs and a £1,000 fine for the fly-tip near Capel Road.

Mohammed Alam, of Forest Gate, was also convicted of similar offences on City of London Corporation owned land.

I find this measure correct and think the fines should be bigger

 

Finally, some good news. How ignorant do you need to be to dispose of garbage in the forest? If you already have a truck, then why not take it to a designated place?
I don’t understand people like this because it’s the most obvious way you hurt nature, yet they continue to do that. You don’t need to be an expert or a scientist to understand it’s bad and it’s not what you should do with garbage. Even if you don’t have a vehicle to dispose of garbage, you can always load it in wholesale contractor bags and order a vehicle from the local trash&garbage service.
