A hefty court bill has been imposed on a 27-year-old Wigan man for flytipping.

Ricky Elliston, of France Street, Hindley, stood before borough magistrates and pleaded guilty to a single charge of dumping, without a licence, a builder's bag full of household waste at the rear of a home in Fairclough Street, also in Hindley, on September 3 2020 in breach of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

A fine, court costs and a victim services surcharge mean that he has £534 to pay.
