Builder fined for fly-tipping
A BUILDER has been fined more than £4,000 after admitting illegally dumping waste.
Tim Lawler, owner of Abingdon Driveways, pleaded guilty at Didcot Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, April 29, to flytipping.
Lawler, 43, of Gainsborough Green, was seen dumping 15 tonnes of soil and rubble near the Abingdon Road, in Steventon.
He was told to pay £4,165, which included costs and compensation.

This is really unfair - he was only trying to make Steventon look better.

The mess Steventon looks is nothing compared to the permamnent blot on the landscape that is Didcot.

This would have cost no more than £150 to dispose of properly. No wonder Abingdon Driveways manage to undercut legitimate driveway firms. If someone resorts to fly tipping, what's the driveway going to look like!! Be warned!

Unfortunately we had this company block pave our driveway a couple of years ago and yes they were competitive (cheap) initially qppeared to have done a good job but after a couple of months problems appeared which after inpection they promised to correct but even after numerous phone calls these were never rectified, so I guess the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies here

My neighbour used this company - stay well away from them if you're planning a new driveway. They'll be your cheapest quote by far (and now we know why) but their workmanship is shoddy, e.g. they don't cement in the border bricks and leave you with a wonky line of site. And the photos on their website are not their own work

Residents have 14 days to vacate their shanty towns and mudhuts alike. You have been warned The Abingdon Driveway block paving take over shall commence shortly![bold]bold[/bold]

'Honest Tim' did my driveway.He did an excellent job.I'd thoroughly recommend his craftmanship to anyone.Admittedly there were a couple of 'trip hazards' but I simply got a 17 ton digger form over the road to smash them down with his bucket. I think it looks really great though.I stil owe him some money for the job but I told him Id see him right when I get me glasses...

To be sure me old mate 'Timmy-two-times' does a fair job of the old driveways.Our postman broke his fakkin ankle on ours though as it was 'a bit rough round the edges'and we were dragged through the courts and had to pay nearly 2k compensation to him.Ah but,be jesus,it was still cheap at half the price.

Lock 'em up and throw away the key.Tearing off his beard and shoving it up his arse is too good for this kind of low life.Banishing him to Broadways for life is the sort of sentence Id dish out if my name was 'The Hanging Judge'.

My husband,before he left me for a woman that doesn't look like a bloke,had a bunch of turkeys like this lot come in and 'do our drive'.When we came home from, work that day we realised something was wrong cos they were offering to sharpen our garden shears,sell lucky clothe pegs and the tyre valve dust caps were missing before the car stopped moving.Scumbags.

These sort came and 'did a quote' for my driveway once.It was horrible.When I asked if there was anyway of reducing the cost the chap threatened me with a knife.After they left I had 3 ton's of hardcore dumped on my drive.I approached the police but they said there was npothing they could do about 'Hardened Scum' like this.I suffer from panic attacks constantly now and can't even go out of the house in case I hear the word 'dag'.

I looked at their 'web-site' and noticed that the pictures of driveways that they claim to have laid are all just pictures scanned from the Abingdon B&Q brochure.Usually these types move on to cause absolute misery somewhere else shortly after a criminal conviction like this.Take note:Dont employ a hardened criminal cowboy to mess with your property.

og race fixing,caravan theft and 'Ringing' and,most sinister of all..block paving.Maybe you should of done your homework.

I approached mr.T one day after he took a £1,000 deposit from my daughter before commencing 'work'.
I found him in a pub trying to sell a caravan and some dogs.next thing I know Im being threatened with a knife.i informed the police but they said they were aware of his criminal activities but were 'unable to act' because people like this just dont give a toss.
Apparently he was going to be on 'Rogue Traders' but I havent seen it yet.

I now have a beautiful driveway,even though I cant drive.I finally paid a company based at Kingston Bagpuise to do it.My first quote though was Abingdon and it was a shambles.
They turned up at 7pm,in winter when it was very dark and raining.They said it would cost more as it was a bit 'hairy',whtever that means.
I went outside in the rain and the van they were in had tipped approx,I found out later,3-4 tons of rubble on my driveway.Dr.Lawler,a
s he called himself,was hitting the van with a hammer and told me the hydraulics were shot and that it tipped on its own accord.I agreed to let them fix van and return to take the rubble away but never saw him again.I complained to trading standards but they merely scoffed at my predicament.Apparent
ly they were snowed under with such complaints.10 days later my husband William passed on.The doctors said the stress off dealing with muppets was a contributing factor.I miss my Bill.I dont care about the 3 tons of asbestos on the drive...
