      Such a ridiculous penalty. A waste of everyones time.

      That does seem kinda ridiculous, two bags of sand left on the verge just outside the property. This clearly isn’t a case of rogue builders dumping stuff on the roadside. There are so many worse actual flytipping offenders, this just seems like the enforcement officer is out for an easy ‘win’.

      3rd party enforcement. So profit motivation not procedural. 

      Always stupid, will never understand how councils think a 3rd party can magically outperform a salaried employee

      Council contracts out fly tipping fines with an agreement that financially rewards the contracted out company for every penalty they issue – what could possibly go wrong.

      I took my knackered green house to the dump this weekend.

      I was told I would have to pay 16.20 per panel (front, back and two sides)

      I looked at him so confused, that’s almost what the shitty thing cost me mate and pointed out how ridiculous it was.

      He then proceeded to ask if it had any glass, I said no, just aluminium and plastic.

      He said ok, get the aluminium out and don’t put it in the scrap metal, put it to the side, that’ll help to our bonus at the end of the year, and I won’t charge you.

      When I got up there they were all super helpful in getting the aluminium out and making sure it was set to one side.

      Everytime I go there the list of stuff you have to pay for now just gets longer and longer, and the more country roads I drive down the more fly tipping I see.

      Im convinced that most of the fly tipping penalties are another one of these council scams. I got a penalty because a letter with my address on it was found at a fly tip site because I paid somebody on a cage truck to take some rubbish away for me and they dumped it. I had the guy loading up on my cctv. I had his phone number. I even offered the council to call him to get him back so I could catch him for them. They refused all of the evidence I offered and kept my £400 fine. I wasn’t even trying to get out of my own fine. I just hate the idea that this guys doing it for a career without any repercussions.

      This is a local story for me. The home owner has a ring doorbell and the private company are claiming they issued a 24 hour notice at the property. There was no notice given and no ring doorbell footage showing that it was delivered. Bunch of cowboys.

      Enforcement Officers 100% need to use context – some do, some don’t. Without looking at the specific details here it does seem common sense and context wasn’t applied.

      When will councils stop using contractors. FFS, not only do they not give a shit but there is someone in the middle making a ton of money out of us.
