The sacks and carrier bags contained 'rotting and decomposing' waste
A woman from Northampton has been ordered to pay more than £1,600 in fines and court costs after dumping rubbish in public in 2019 and 2021. Sacks of rotting rubbish were twice found dumped on grass verges near her home.
In December 2019, Neighbourhood Wardens on patrol in the Bellinge area found a large sack containing nine black bin bags full of rubbish dumped on a grass verge. After tracing the rubbish to Batchelor, they issued her with a £400 fixed penalty notice.Batchelor ignored the notice and a case was prepared for prosecution by the council. However, the legal action was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
At Wellingborough Magistrates Court last Tuesday, Batchelor pleaded guilty to two counts of failing in her duty of care for her household waste. She argued she had left the rubbish there after paying someone to clear it for her, but that they had failed to collect it.At NorthantsLive we're more than just news.

Councillor David Smith, WNC's Cabinet Member for community safety and engagement, and regulatory services, said: “We are determined to tackle environmental crime across West Northamptonshire.
