Hull resident picks up bill for almost £700 for fly-tipping construction waste

DISCOVERED AT A SITE IN WEST HULL

- By DEBORAH HALL

A HULL resident has been successfully prosecuted and fined following what Hull City Council called a "serious fly-tipping incident".

In January of this year, a large quantity of construction waste was discovered behind D&S Specks in Wold Road, the authority said.

The council's streetcare and grounds team swiftly cleared the site, and an environmental enforcement officer launched an investigation.

A distinctive building product found among the waste was traced back to a local DIY supplier, leading officers to identify Rafal Lukasczyk, of Leonard Street, Hull, as the purchaser.
