'Daftest' city flytipper caught on camera
A Coventry City Council employee has posted what they believe could be the "daftest" video yet of fly-tipping in the city. The local authority has run a series of videos entitled "Coventry Wall of Shame", highlighting illegal dumping in the city. The most recent video includes a clip of a man on a bicycle with a large, round object balanced on his head. The incident took place on Bedlam Lane on 10 June, and anyone with information is urged to contact the council. "I've been making these videos for about a year, and this might be the daftest clip I've had yet," the council commentator said. "I can't tell if it's a lampshade or some sort of chair thing. What I do know is that it took place at 22:45 BST on Bedlam Lane on 10 June." Follow BBC Coventry & Warwickshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.
