Fine For Failing To Comply With Order To Safeguard Bethesda Property

A man from Bethesda has been ordered to pay more than £2,000 in fines and costs after he failed to comply with Gwynedd Council’s order to carry out work to repair his flat roof. He had been served a notice instructing him to carry out repairs to his flat roof, which he failed to do. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

In a hearing at Caernarfon Magistrates Court on 7 September, Michael Beeby of Erw Lâs, Bethesda was found guilty of failing to carry out work to his property to prevent dampness to his neighbouring property. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

After the hearing Carys Fôn Williams, Gwynedd Council Private Sector Housing Manager said: “We are pleased that the magistrates have sent a clear message that allowing a property to affect nearby dwellings is totally unacceptable.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Magistrates found Mr Beeby guilty and he was ordered to pay £250 in costs, a £170 victim surcharge and a £2,000 fine. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
