Optician Fined for Fly-Tipping, Disputes Unfair Penalty
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Independent optician Harvey Kaye, owner of Queens Crescent Eyecare, was unfairly fined £1000 for fly-tipping. Enforcement officers from Kingdom Local Authority Support entered his shop, claiming photographic proof of a criminal offense, which was later found to be an envelope in a tied bin bag. Kaye, struggling with his business due to pandemic-induced changes in shopping habits, felt pressured to pay the fine to protect his staff. He also received a second penalty from Camdens Trade Waste Management Agreement, which he refused to pay after feeling it was excessive. Officials defend their process, stating they investigate fly-tipped waste and allow representation before court.
