Published12th October 2022

The head of a family-of-four in Ravenswood has been successfully prosecuted this week by Ipswich Borough Council for dumping around 50 refuse bags of waste in a local wildlife area.

Pleading guilty, the culprit appeared in Ipswich Magistrates Court for sentencing on 10 October 2022 and fined £1,943.

Ipswich Borough Cllr Alasdair Ross, Portfolio Holder for Community Protection, says:

“Littering and fly-tipping are not acceptable on any level. This is the largest scale domestic issue we’ve seen in Ipswich for some time.

“Please dispose of items responsibly in your recycling, compost or rubbish bin or use household waste and recycling centres. There is no excuse for littering or fly-tipping, those caught doing so will be fined or prosecuted.”
