A RESIDENT who illegally dumped domestic waste near Rhuddlan Library has been fined £250.
The fly-tip was reported to Denbighshire County Council by a member of the public through the local authority’s online reporting page.
Following an investigation by the council’s environmental crime team, which carried out detailed enquiries and gathered evidence from within the fly-tip, officers were able to identify the offender and issued a £250 fixed penalty notice.
Cllr Barry Mellor, the council’s lead member for environment and transport, said: "Our message is clear: fly-tipping and irresponsible waste disposal will not be tolerated in Denbighshire.
“We will continue to take robust action against those who contribute to environmental crime and work to keep our county clean and safe for everyone."
A council spokesperson added: “This demonstrates how information from residents can directly lead to action against those who spoil Denbighshire’s environment.
“If you have information about fly-tipping or any other environmental offence, please report it via the Denbighshire County Council website, or contact the council's customer services team on 01824 706000.
