A takeaway has been fined thousands of pounds after ignoring warnings from the council and failing to pay a smaller fixed penalty notice. The team behind Drumstick Takeaway, in Northenden, were absent from court as they were prosecuted after failing to supply Manchester Council with waste transfer notes which are required by law.
On two separate occasions, officers visited Drumstick Takeaway on Palatine Road as part of checks to see if businesses in the area had proper waste management arrangements in place. The business failed to provide the officer with any documentation to demonstrate they had adequate arrangements in place.
Council officers contacted the takeaway again and served a legal notice, formally requesting copies of their waste transfer notes covering the previous six months. The business responded and provided paperwork that did not comply with the legal requirements of a waste transfer note.
