A Nottinghamshire man has been ordered to pay nearly £2,000 after failing to remove waste from his property. Paul Holmes, of Beeley Avenue, Sutton-in-Ashfield, was given multiple warnings about a large build-up of waste to the rear of his garden after complaints of "smells and pests" at the location.
Upon inspection of the property, officers found a large accumulation of waste which consisted of children's toys, pipes, wood, bikes, crates, barrels and animal cages. Holmes was warned about the issues and advised to remove the waste, but the advice was ignored, Ashfield District Council said.
The council issued him with a Community Protection Notice on May 25. The notice required him to remove the waste from his garden within 14 days.
