A GRIMETHORPE man has been sentenced to a 12-month community order and ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work after he was found guilty of fly-tipping.
Dylan Finney, of Nancy Road, had been finding work through Facebook, taking waste and dumping it on and near Park Spring Road in Grimethorpe - a well-known fly-tipping hotspot.
He was also ordered to pay £1,000 in costs to the council, and a rehabilitation activity order was included where Finney will have to take part in ten sessions.
Coun Jenny Platts, cabinet spokesperson for adults and communities, said: “We take instances of fly-tipping very seriously in Barnsley, it is an inexcusable blight on our borough.
“We will continue to work with the police and the public to tackle environmental crime.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
