Mr Kevin Ohanian the owner of Chico Mexico at 41 Bond Street, pleaded guilty and was fined £350 with £500 costs and a £15 victim surcharge after his staff dumped black bags of rubbish on the street in September 2010. Councillor Bassam Mahfouz, cabinet member for Transport and Environment, said: “We want to show all businesses that they must play their part in keeping Ealing clean and support those who go to the trouble of sticking to the rules. Businesses are responsible for their waste and for the action of their staff. Fly-tipping will not be tolerated in our borough and I would urge anyone who witnesses it to report it to Grimebusters, our 24-hour hotline. We will also continue to do everything we can to see that those responsible are made to pay the price.” You can report incidents of graffiti, fly-tipping and emergency cleansing by calling Grimebusters on 020 8825 8825.
