Previously, the council said the cabinet had been left on the road for four days, had no sign indicating it was free to take and would have had no further useful purpose due to its “condition”.

Ms Pepin disagreed, claiming there was “still life left in it”.

She said previously she was considering taking legal action after the council rejected her appeal.

She said: “I do feel this is an excessive fine. There was no intention of fly-tipping. It was outside my own house.”

A fixed penalty notice, external issued by the council for fly-tipping is £500 if paid within 14 days or £1,000 within 28 days.
