**Carl Wild**, of Melbourne Street, Brighton was fine £1,000 earlier this year, but has continued to walk his dog in Woodvale Cemetery.

A second proscution was undertaken after Wild was spotted by cemetery staff and park rangers on a further 43 occasions, after his first prosecution.

He was fined £1,000, and ordered to pay £350 court costs, £150 criminal costs and £100 victim surcharge after admitting regularly walking his dog in Woodvale Cemetery.

**Len Batten**, prosecuting on behalf of Brighton & Hove City Council, told Eastbourne Magistrates that Wild had been caught walking his dog in Woodvale cemetery 43 times since being prosecuted in May this year.

**Cllr Gill Mitchell, chair of the environment, transport and sustainability committee, said:** *“It’s disappointing that Mr Wild not only continues to disregard the law and, but also the wishes of other people visiting Woodvale Cemetery.*

*“The bylaws are in place to ensure that Woodvale remains a pleasant and tranquil place to visit, and our officers will continue to take action against those who deliberately flout them.”*
