Trailer-ad penalty
Date published: 22 July 2010
AN Oldham conservatory firm was fined £4,550 for repeatedly failing to remove an advertising trailer.
Council officers spotted an HGV advertising trailer parked next to Chadderton Way last September and sent a letter to NTC Ltd, of Waddington Street, Oldham, telling the firm to remove it. Officers revisited the site six times in October but the trailer remained in the same place. The council removed it on October 30.
NTC Ltd pleaded guilty by letter to seven offences under the Town and Country Planning Act for leaving a HGV trailer on the Public Highway advertising their company and was fined £650 on each offence.
