A local man and one who came over the border from Cambridgeshire and dumped commercial waste on land near King’s Lynn and caught by CCTV and a drone camera have been punished by the courts.

Phillip Moore, who ran a landscaping business only a few miles from the site in Clenchwarton, has been fined £600 by magistrates. Fred Harris, a roofer from near Cambridge, was given 100 hours of unpaid work to complete.

Both men were ordered to pay substantial costs.

Clockcase Lane includes 15 hectares of land close to the Great River Ouse. Farmland and residential housing are also nearby.

Moore was the first to offend. A covert drone camera was already trained on the site in 2022 as the Environment Agency investigated other reports of waste crime.
