Mum slapped with £75 fly-tipping fine after leaving her kids' old scooters out for scrap man

A mum-of-two was slapped with a £75 fine for fly-tipping after leaving her children’s old scooters out for the scrap man.

Primary school teacher Emma Reckless, 42, left the three toys, along with an unwanted parasol holder, against her fence for collection.

But she was stunned when a council Community Protection Officer knocked on her door on Tuesday (24/7) and told her she would receive a penalty for fly-tipping.
