'A night out can cost a few bob' says council as driver fined

A driver had a costly night out in Liverpool after attempting to dump a mattress on the street.

Liverpool Council has continued its campaign of shaming fly-tippers as it attempts to tackle dumping around the city. In its latest post the council shared an image of a driver parked up, disposing of a couple of mattresses at the side of a road in the city centre.

Tweeting with the image, the council said: "A night out in the city centre can cost a few bob. But not as costly as fly tipping a mattress. Today we'll identify this car owner and then send a letter. The fine? £400 more than going the tip (free). Could have a boss night out with that and change for a tip."
