A woman who tried to blame removal men after she was caught fly-tipping has been fined more than £1,000. Sheena Corbin, 35, of Normead Drive in Yate, pleaded guilty to failing in her duty of care and non-compliance of a Section 108 Notice when she appeared at Bristol Magistrates Court on Friday, May 19.
The court heard that on June 2 last year a fly-tip of cardboard and packaging discovered on a path near St Johns Way in Chipping Sodbury was reported to South Gloucestershire Council. The council cleared the fly-tip and found documentation amongst the waste relating to Corbin’s address at Normead Drive.
Corbin was then spoken to at her home address where she admitted that she recognised the waste, claiming that it had been taken away from her home by a removals company after they had moved her into the house on May 24, 2022.
