A MOTHER-of-two has hit out at a ‘money-making scheme’ after winning a lengthy court battle.
Lauren Pinhorne, of Picket Piece, was cleared of flytipping at Winchester Crown Court this week after a six-month legal wrangle with Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC).
The saga began when the authority discovered a pile of waste in Charlton Road on around February 12 last year.
Ms Pinhorne was confronted by an investigator from the authority who claimed she had dumped a plastic bag containing a flower card and an old diary.
