A Felixstowe man has been fined nearly £1,800 after fly-tipping.

Colin Hill, of Cambridge Road, Felixstowe was found guilty on Monday, (March 29), of fly-tipping and was fined a total of £1,793, of which £1,439 was costs, at Ipswich Magistrates' Court.

Hill dumped at least a tonne of general waste in Raeburn Road, Ipswich last June, after transporting it from Felixstowe.

Hill had previously failed to appear when the matter first came to court on March 3 2021 and a bench warrant for his arrest was issued.

Ian Blofield, head of housing and community services at Ipswich Borough Council, said: "We will not stop pursuing those who fly-tip in Ipswich.

"This selfish action impacts our residents and businesses and we work hard to make sure it impacts the fly-tippers more.

"Fly-tip in Ipswich and we will seek to get you to court, as Mr Hill has found out to his cost."
