Northamptonshire Council is going bust

[JohnD]

builder was recently fined 300 squid for a sandwich wrapper ect in the front of his van ,

I wonder if that's true.

The ticket was issued in May. What has he done since then?

What does this mean:

"The contractor said he appealed the sanction, but there was a "delay" in the council's response. He asked for clarification on the fine amount but was away when the authority responded."

What was the "lesser amount" mentioned?

What did the statement from the council say, when the papers checked the story before printing it?

Nobody on here knows.

The point is. He had such commercial bags, so he knew the system

Do you work for the council?

 

[Notch7]

What is a 'commercial waste bag'?

Does it have special features that are different to a black bin bag....

commercial waste bag whats that a rubble sack from Tesco's . Or do u have to buy said item from the jobs worth at the local council ??

 

[JohnD]

I search the press reports for the driver saying "no it wasn't a commercial waste bag." There is no such statement included.

Do you have reason to believe the council statement "The waste in this case was being transported in commercial refuse bag in the trader's vehicle" is untrue?

I suppose it wouldn't make such a good newspaper sensationalist story if they'd mentioned that it was true.

The irony:

Steve Sweet got fined for a kit kat wrapper

yep I dare say you have trawled the net . Try listening to Radio 4 . Its the BBC

The council are a waste of space & as for the dcks up in Northampton as far as I am concerned they should have all there assets seized , houses , cars and any thing else of value in order to pay back the tax payer for there incompetence

I'm sure it's just as true as the other stories mentioned on the same page

for example

"PROOF AT LAST?

Charlotte Robinson spotted the mythical monster on the first day of her holiday with her parents, as Nessie appeared to pop her head and neck out of the water"

Did anyone say that it wasn't in a commercial bag? If so, I missed that part.

Yeah, it's the sun's fault innit John. Tsk tsk. Stupid press for telling a story. Whatever next.

 

[JohnD]

So when the story reads "Builder transporting rubbish in a Commercial Waste container in his Builder's Van fined for not having a Waste Transporter's Licence. Doesn't pay the reduced fine; doesn't make an appeal in time"

Doesn't have the same ring, does it?
