A 77-year-old handyman has been fined thousands of pounds for illegally storing and dumping waste. The fly-tipper was caught on CCTV dumping the waste at Gravel Walks near Houghton Le Spring before it was set alight in a back lane. In response to increasing fly-tipping incidents, the Conservative Party has pledged to impose driving penalty points on those caught fly-tipping if they win the next general election. Michael Gove stated that these measures will help communities 'take back control' of their neighborhoods. The proposed measures also include higher fines and potential driving bans for offenders.
