A Chester-le-Street man has been fined after he was caught dumping a scruffy mattress and waste outside of his own home.
Colin Eastick dumped commercial waste, including a mattress and a chair, outside of his house at Delaval, with neighbourhood wardens discovering the mess when they were on patrol.
Durham County Council took legal action against the 50-year-old after the rubbish was found. When CCTV footage of the area was reviewed, it showed a flat bed van driving up the street, where a man got out of the vehicle and removed the waste before driving away.
