A COMPANY has been fined £350 for illegally putting a skip on the road in Wirral.
Angel Skips Limited pleaded guilty to failing to apply for a permit to place the skip on the highway, failing to provide reflectors, and failing to display operator’s details on the side of the skip.
Enforcement officers from Wirral Council reported the skip which was placed on the carriage way of Kinglake Road, Egremont, on July 8 2008.
The skip company had previously been warned and issued with information about the placement of skips but had failed to comply.
Skip companies must acquire a permit for the placing of skips and to let Wirral Council know when and where they plan to place them. The court found the company had failed to comply with regulations.
