Man taken to court after wheelie bin falls over
A householder has been taken to court for dumping rubbish after his wheelie bin toppled over, spilling its contents.
Gary Rostron, 34, a care worker, claims the bin was knocked over after he left it out for collection in March.
Officials at Blackburn with Darwen Council disagreed. They issued him with a £60 fixed penalty notice for "incorrectly placing rubbish bags beside a collecting receptacle" and then took him to court when he refused to pay.
Local magistrates have now accepted that the householder was telling the truth and cleared him of breaching Section 46 of the Environmental Protection Act.
What a load of rubbish Labour controlled Blackburn with Darwen Council!
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Contempt for those who pay Nulabor's wages increases daily.
Blackburn with Darwen council is controlled by a coalition of Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, and 'For Darwen' councillors. Labour is in opposition.
