Council Enforcement Officers visited Gemma Proctors home on New Lane Oswaldwistle after receiving complaints about rubbish in the back yard there. They served her with a notice ordering her to clean it up which she ignored; therefore the Council took her to court where magistrates imposed large fines and costs.
Cllr Clare Pritchard, Cabinet Member for Environmental Health said; “We won’t tolerate this kind of anti-social blight and will always prosecute people who fail to clean up their mess. We gave Ms Proctor plenty of chances to get the rubbish removed, but unfortunately she chose not to do so, leaving us no option but to remove the rubbish ourselves and take her to court, where magistrates imposed substantial fines and costs.”
