£4,000 taxpayer bill after ten tonnes of rubbish dumped in Doncaster country lane
Angry council chiefs have hit out at flytippers who dumped ten tonnes of rubbish in a Doncaster country lane – racking up a bill to taxpayers of more than £4,000.
It took 15 City of Doncaster Council staff a day and a half to clear the mountain of debris which bosses say was removed from a road ‘north of the city.’
A spokesman said: “Nearly ten tonnes of fly tipped waste had to be removed incurring costs of more than £4,000 of taxpayers money.
"It took a day and a half and 15 staff to get the road back open.”
If convicted, fly tippers face an unlimited fine and/or up to 12 months in prison if convicted in Magistrates Court or an unlimited fine and/or up to five years in prison if convicted in Crown Court.
