Hyndburn scrapyard owner in court over unsafe state of business
A MAN who failed to improve conditions at his scrapyard despite two major fires has been prosecuted. In April the Environment Agency took the director of a vehicle scrap yard, who persistently breached the conditions of an Environment Permit for the storage, drainage and dismantling of waste vehicles, to court. The site was over capacity and Imran Mirza, director of First Choice Car Spares Limited, did not have permission to accept vehicles following a suspension notice issued by Environment Agency. Despite this Mirza illegally accepted waste vehicles onto his site at the Moorfield Industrial Estate, Altham, Hyndburn.
