A woman has been fined £200 for leaving her wheelie bin out on the street for too long.
Charlotte Aspel, of Wellington Street, Jericho, was taken to court by Oxford City Council after failing to comply with legal notices issued by the council asking her to remove her bin which was causing a "nuisance on the pavement".
She was caught leaving her bin out in May, June and August 2007, then again in February 2008, when she was issued with a £100 fixed penalty notice.
She failed to pay and was summoned to Oxford Magistrates' Court on July 28 where she was convicted in her absence and fined £200 and ordered to pay £150 costs.
