A NORTH Yorkshire man has been jailed for 12 months after operating an illegal tyre dump near Bradford city centre which caught fire.
At the height of blaze in November 2020 up to 100 firefighters from across West Yorkshire were involved in trying to put out the fire which burned for several days and caused extensive disruption to nearby schools, businesses, homes and transport services.
Mr Millington said similar activities were taking place at the Doncaster site where he said “the building was stuffed with tyres”. Despite the service of so-called “stop letters” Judge Jonathan Gibson said Bedford’s efforts to improve the situation had been “woefully inadequate” and in November 2020 a major incident was declared when the Bradford site caught fire. Mr Millington said the Fire Service costs alone in dealing with the massive blaze were put at just over £1m.
