A woman who claims she has been falsely accused of fly-tipping after her bin was stolen has been left furious at the prospect of having to pay a hefty fine. Chloe Robertson, who lives in Hayes Road, Sully, said her metal bin was stolen in late July after she put it out for collection.
The contents of the bin - three refuse sacks - were discarded further along the street and the bin was taken. To Chloe's bemusement, she was issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice on August 24 by Vale of Glamorgan Council for allegedly fly-tipping the three refuse bags - something she firmly denies.
"If I'm 100% honest, I didn't take it hugely seriously because I immediately knew that I had not done this," said Chloe, 33. I thought that as soon as I explained what had happened then they would just drop the case and I thought it was going to be this simple."
