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.
Ian Hoult, Durham County Council’s neighbourhood protection manager, said: “Flytipping is a serious offence which will not be tolerated in County Durham. It blights our beautiful countryside, harms the natural environment and is a significant concern amongst residents.”
