A Slough landlord has been fined thousands of pounds fly-tipping the contents of a flat so another tenant could move in.

Navdeep Sira hired a van and an employee to help with the flat clearance.

Whilst he took some of the rubbish to Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre and paid to dispose of some of it, he took the rest to a communal bin area and fly-tipped dozens of full black bin bags.

Nearby CCTV caught the van that the landlord had hired and the man he employed for the day unloading the bags and leaving them next to the bins intended for resident use. 

Slough Observer:

The van hire was then traced back to Mr Sira.

Mr Sira had also employed a man on a cash-in-hand basis to help with the job.

After clearing the property and paying £27 for some to be legally disposed of, there was still half the rubbish left.

He then drove to a communal bin area in Trawlaney Avenue and the rest was dumped.

The court was told although he did not get out of the vehicle or move any of the bags, he took full responsibility for instructing his employee.

It was added he had learnt a valuable lesson and the situation would never happen again.

Magistrates fined Mr Sira, of The Close, Cippenham, £3,500 and ordered him to pay the council’s full costs of £1903.80 and a victim surcharge of £170.

Councillor Balvinder Bains, cabinet member for regulation and public protection, said: “The council will pursue residents and businesses who avoid disposing of their waste in a legal way.

“There are additional costs to collecting fly-tipping and then disposing of it when it can easily be taken to Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre.

 

“This is great work by the council’s resilience and enforcement team and for recouping all the costs involved from the defendant.”
