- For failing to attend an interview under caution has seen a Carlisle man fined £660, with £374.16 costs and a £66 victim surcharge (total £1100.16). As part of the council’s investigation into a fly-tipping incident at Beaumont, Carlisle the man was served a notice to attend an interview to assist officers with their investigation. The man failed to do so and was found guilty of the offence by the court.

Cllr Nigel Christian, portfolio holder for environment and transport, said: “The court prosecutions serve as a reminder that Carlisle City Council will take action against those that fail to pay their fines, litter and fly-tip.
