Man fined after waste was dumped at nature reserve in County Durham

A man has been ordered to pay more than £450 after a vehicle he hired was used to dump waste at a County Durham nature reserve.

Bags of waste and polystyrene were found in a layby at the entrance to Bishop Middleham Nature Reserve last July after a neighbourhood warden from Durham County Council received information about a flytip.

CCTV footage showed a car entering the area and a man throwing items into the nearby hedgerow, with checks identifying that the car was hired by Stephen Ryan, of White Crescent, Hartlepool.
