A SKIP hire contractor who consistently flouted waste regulations has been given a 28-day suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay costs of £18,000.

Oxford County Court found Geoffrey Parker, of Hundridge Farm, Ipsden Heath, in contempt of court for continuing to keep controlled waste on his farm and in nearby Cox’s Lane without an environmental permit.

The warrant is suspended until May 15.

At an earlier hearing, Parker had agreed to clear all the waste by August 31.
