Bin fine dad a nuisance neighbour (http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1187285_bin_fine_dad_a_nuisance_neighbour)
A DAD who was fined £550 for not putting his wheelie bins away has been given a suspended jail sentence for being a nuisance neighbour.
Gareth Robinson, 24, was prosecuted by Salford council after the authority said he repeatedly failed to take his bins in.
Now the father of a four-year-old boy, has been given three one-month sentences, to run concurrently, for breaching the terms of an anti-social behaviour order.
Salford County Court heard that loud music, shouting, singing, dogs barking and the sound of furniture being moved came from Robinson's house in Morillon Road, Irlam.
Robinson was issued with an anti-social behaviour injunction by landlords City West Housing on September 1 but breached it on three subsequent occasions.
The breaches included banging of doors in the early hours, barking, shouting and the use of abusive language.
Anti-social behaviour
City West Housing Trust’s Head of Housing and Neighbourhoods, Matt Jones said: “We welcome the outcome of this hearing as anti-social behaviour is something we take very seriously and will not tolerate.
“We have a duty to protect residents from serious incidents of anti-social behaviour and we will continue to tackle anti-social behaviour in all forms in our communities.”
After he was fined in November for leaving his bins outside on eight occasions, Robinson remained defiant and said he would not pay the fine.
He said: “I think that it is pathetic and a joke. I have only just got back into work. I cannot afford to pay £600 for a bin. I pay my council tax.”
He claimed the bins were left outside his house for two days at the most as he dug up turf in his back garden.
He was told that if he failed to pay the fine by December 22, it could be increased by 50 per cent, his vehicle could be clamped and seized and bailiffs could be employed.
