✅ Guilty conviction secured for environmental offences in Fairfield & Howley Ward.
We’re pleased to report a successful prosecution following a recent case at Dalton Bank, Warrington.
Angelica Larissa Smaranda appeared before Warrington Magistrates Court and entered guilty pleas in relation to waste offences, resulting in a conviction. The Magistrates recognised the seriousness of the conduct and the wider impact on the local community, particularly how waste left in an area can quickly escalate when others add to it.
A total financial penalty of £788 was imposed, including a fine, victim surcharge, and costs to cover the Council’s clean-up of the site.
While every case is considered on its individual circumstances, this conviction reinforces an important message — environmental offences are taken seriously, and action will be taken to hold individuals accountable.
👏 Thank you to residents who continue to report issues and support efforts to keep Fairfield & Howley clean, safe, and a place we can all be proud of.
