FORMER businessman Paul Ashby has failed to pay off fines imposed for a health and safety offence.
Fifty-eight-year-old Ashby told Fenland magistrates he could not pay, because his plastics recycling company went into liquidation, owing �460,000.
He had failed to pay a �3,000 fine, �1,000 costs and a �15 surcharge.
"All my money went into the business," he said. "I borrowed �70,000 in an attempt to keep my business afloat," he told the court. "I have been in the industry for 30 years, and have never had to sign on."
