Bristol man fined almost £7K after four fly-tips traced back to his address

A Bristol man has been fined almost £7000 after fly-tipped waste containing his name and address was found dumped at four locations across South Gloucestershire.

Ishtiaq Ishaq, 62, of St George, pleaded guilty to failing his duty of care at Bristol Magistrates' Court on Monday (May 16) after four fly-tips - all containing refurbishment waste - were found in Downend, Upton Cheyney, Siston and Hawkesbury Upton in September 2020.

Ishaq was prosecuted by South Gloucestershire Council after its environmental crime team examined the dumped waste for evidence and found his details, including his home and business address.
