Katie Price risks £20k fine in fly tipping row with council after ignoring demands to clear up £1.4m Mucky Mansion
KATIE Price risks being slapped with a £20,000 fine from her local council after allegedly failing to clear up her £1.4million mucky mansion.
The 44-year-old star received a written notice about the state of her land back in 2019.
She is accused of failing to address council concerns over the “importation of waste material, excavation of land and creation of a riding school” all of which are said to be having “an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area”.
According to the notice, “failure to comply” means she’s at risk of “immediate prosecution in the Magistrates' Court for which the maximum penalty is £20,000 on summary conviction for a first offence and any subsequent offence”.
A source said: "It's been rolling on for years and it looks as if she hasn't done anything about the state of the grounds. She says it's not her fault but there are parts of the land that are totally un-useable."
Katie's rep, and the local council, have been contacted for comment.

Viewers watched a three-part Channel 4 show earlier this year that saw Katie's Sussex home get a major makeover after years of neglect.
It is set for a second series in which more of the property will be renovated, but the project has been thrown into chaos as the "filthy" house is apparently too dirty to film in.
Filming has already started, but The Sun can reveal things have ground to a halt because the production company were forced to call in professional de-clutterers.
An insider said: "There are piles of old clothes and free gifts Katie has been sent, and bags of litter and old hangers.

"It's very dirty in the parts of the house that haven't been made over yet, and it's damp and mouldy - the warm weather recently hasn't helped.
"They had to call in a specialist company to shift a lot of the stuff out so it's safe for the crew to go in."
The source added: "I think it's filled up with rubbish again since the last show was filmed."
When C4’s crew moved in previously, Katie made over daughter Princess’s and son Jett’s bedrooms, and her mum Amy - who is suffering from an incurable lung condition - designed a special ‘garden room’ for her daughter to remember her by.

Katie also paid tribute to her fiance Carl Woods with a huge neon sign in the hallway spelling out ‘PriceyWoods’.
Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Katie revealed plans for series two and said: “We've only done four rooms so far, there's eleven bedrooms there, all the other rooms. Everyone loved it, I wanna do my bedroom!"
