Chester-le-Street fly tipper fined £348 for dumping waste on Delaval

A County Durham man has been fined after dumping commercial waste outside the back of his home.

Colin Eastick, 50, of Delaval in Chester-le-Street, has been fined £348 in court after rubbish was found dumped at the back of his property.

Durham County Council's neighbourhood wardens discovered the rubbish while on patrol, where a mattress, chair and other items were found on Eastwick's street.

CCTV footage of the area showed a flat bed van driving up the street, where a man got out of the vehicle and removed the waste before driving away.
