A Willesden business that has consistently butchered our streets with piles of raw meat and rubbish has finally had its chickens come home to roost.
Nour Damascus, Willesden, has been hit with a £22,033 fine for eight offences of unlawful waste disposal – blocking the high street with bin bags, plastic crates, raw meat and other filth.
Enforcement officers have been monitoring the business since the start of last year and even contacted the owners so that they could organise proper waste removal – but the company repeatedly ignored warnings.
Councillor Krupa Sheth, Cabinet Member for Public Realm and Enforcement, said: “This is a clear message - if you dump waste on our streets, you will pay the price. We have zero tolerance for fly-tipping and filthy behaviour like this. Through our Don’t Mess with Brent campaign, we’ve already handed out 30% more fines than last year, and we’re not slowing down.
“This was serious fowl play from a business that thought it could get away with it. It couldn’t. The judgement should serve as a warning to every business: dispose of your waste properly, or we’ll clean up in court.”
