A Bury food takeaway must pay £11,100 after being prosecuted for waste offences near their premises.

Ballers Kitchen UK Ltd of Walmersley Road, Bury were taken to court under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for three Duty of Care breaches committed in February and March 2023.

At Wigan Magistrates Court last week, the company was fined £9,500 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £2,000 and costs of £1,600.

Councillor Alan Quinn, cabinet member for the environment, climate change and operations, said: “There is no excuse for waste being dumped in our borough. It spoils our neighbourhoods, and costs taxpayers money. We will continue to take action against offenders whenever we have evidence.”
