A business director accused of dumping 27 tonnes of waste which blocked off access to homes and businesses on a country lane has denied all the allegations against him. Darren Sheen, 40, entered not guilty pleas to nine charges faced by him and Fusion Engineering Ltd at Stafford Crown Court on Wednesday. The charges relate to a mound of fly-tipped waste that appeared on the night of January 19 in Watery Lane on the outskirts of Lichfield in Staffordshire. Source: PA
