Residents work with council to stop businesses dumping waste in Haringey
29 July 2024
A BUSINESS from a neighbouring borough has been fined a total of £2005 after blocking a pavement in Haringey with multiple bags of waste from its construction company.

Residents across the borough have been instrumental in supporting the council to protect their local neighbourhoods and ensure people face the consequences of their actions.
Following a road closure on Philip Lane, officers from Haringey Council received reports from the local community who were concerned about the significant amount of waste obstructing the pavement.
After a thorough investigation, evidence linked the waste to a construction company based in Chingford. A fixed penalty notice was issued to the director of the company.
Despite several follow-up reminders, the company failed to comply, leading the council to prosecute under Section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
The case resulted in a court hearing at Highbury Magistrates Court, where the defendant was found guilty.
Cllr Seema Chandwani, Cabinet Member for Tackling Inequality and Resident Services, said: "This case underlines our commitment to maintaining clean and safe public spaces.
"This would not have been possible without the support of our residents who have been key in helping to address these issues. We encourage more of them to come forward to help ensure we can keep the borough cleaner and greener.
"Action will be taken against those who violate environmental regulations. This will simply not be tolerated in Haringey."
If you would like to report waste in your area, you can do this via the Love Clean Streets app.
