Glenn Morris, 57, owns property management company Glenn's Vacancies, and is the secretary of the Nelson Property Investors Association which has 200 members.He appeared in the Nelson District Court on Wednesday and admitted two charges of dumping cars full of household rubbish in public places.
Environmental officer Bruce Henry, acting for the Nelson City Council, told the court that Morris was asked to move a car full of rubbish from a property he managed in Green St last January.
Morris had commented the car would become a "council problem" if it was put on the road. A few days later it was found on the road and a neighbour confirmed Morris had moved it, Mr Henry said.
Morris also admitted to council officers that he had dumped a car full of rubbish on North Rd. It was found on February 1 with the licence plates and engine chassis number removed.
