A landowner who failed to obey an order to clear up litter has been hit with a court fine.

Ryan Holgate, of Henry Park Street, Ince, appeared before Wigan magistrates to admit to flouting a notice to tidy away an eyesore mess outside his home within 28 days of receiving the document.

He was fined and must also pay court costs and a victim services surcharge, putting his total bill at £451.
