Woman fined £200... for leaving cardboard boxes opposite her home
A woman in Pitsea has been fined £200 for leaving cardboard boxes outside her home.
Sinead Brown, 30, was prosecuted by the council after three 'large' boxes had been dumped opposite where she lived in Malgraves back in April.
During a hearing at Basildon Magistrates Court earlier this month, Brown was fined £200 for breaching the Environmental Protection Act.
Magistrates also ordered her to pay further costs of £139, including £34 for victim services.
