A High Wycombe man has been ordered to pay up nearly £2,000 over animal excrement.

Mudasser Arif, 45, of Adelaide Road in High Wycombe, was fined £386 and made to pay £1337 costs at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on August 10.

Arif had pleaded guilty to a charge of handling, controlling or transferring controlled waste without taking reasonable measures.

The waste in question was "animal excrement" - although the type of animal is not specified in court documents.

The offending took place in Studley Green on February 25.

The court heard how Arif had a duty of care to the waste, and failed to take appropriate measures to prevent its unauthorised disposal.
