Bedfords Park fly tipping

Mr Andi Pemaj, of Andi Contractor Ltd, a builder and decorator in Saville Road, Romford, appeared at Barkingside Magistrates Court on Friday 21 August.

One of Mr Permaj's sub-contractors, who was working on an Andi Construction project, dumped a load of building waste in Bedfords Park. This was subsequently traced back to Mr Permaj's client by Council investigators.

Mr Permaj refused to name the contractor who dumped the waste, but pleaded guilty to knowingly allowing a fly-tip to happen, for which he was fined £750, with a further fine of £750 for failing in a duty of care plus costs. The total was £2,621.
