A man has been told to pay nearly £2,000 for flytipping.

Daniel Rawlings, 22, of Queen’s Avenue, Wallingford, appeared before Oxford magistrates and pleaded guilty to flytipping waste in Harwell, near Didcot.

He dumped the waste after being told he could not take it to Drayton recycling centre because he did not have a van permit.

Rawlings was fined £1,000, £575.92 costs, £350 clear-up compensation, and a victim’s surcharge of £15.
