Graeme Rowland of Reynoldson Street, Hull, aged 42, failed to attend Hull Magistrates Court on 22 November and was found guilty of failing to comply with a Section 215 notice, which required him to cut back his garden and remove any waste.

Mr Rowland was fined £200, with a £20 victim surcharge and costs of £429, leaving him with a total bill of £649.

Councillor John Hewitt, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhoods and Communities, said:

“It is disappointing that we have again had to prosecute this couple of failing to keep their property tidy. I hope that this prosecution serves as a warning to other residents who do not look after their properties to clean it up or face similar action.”
