Two sisters have been ordered to pay over £1,500 after being caught dumping waste in Test Valley. Carla and Chantelle Matthews were both fined following incidents in which waste was found dumped on Cowdown Lane between the Clatfords and Andover, as well as in Stoneymarsh car park on the A3057. After failing to attend an interview regarding the offences, the pair were taken to Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court. Carla was ordered to pay £1,496, while Chantelle was ordered to pay £193. The prosecution follows the discovery of waste at Stoneymarsh Car Park and on Cowdown Lane last year. Bags full of cables, pipes and other waste was left at the sites, where it was found by Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) environmental officers.
