The environmental permit for a landfill, which was forced to close following complaints of noxious fumes, “no longer exists” after its owner entered liquidation.

Wesley Grainger-Smith, 66, was sentenced to two years and four months in prison at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday 28 February.

Most creditors were paid nothing when bankruptcy trustees published their final report in August 2024, as the sale of his assets didn’t even cover what he owed to banks, who get first dibs on any cash raised.
So they were horrified to discover video, shot just weeks before they were told they’d get nothing, of Ross living it up in Sin City, splashing cash in the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Ross previously lived in a £2.5m house in Claygate, Esher, had a second home in the area and owned a flat in…
