Huge structure left in lay-by

ENVRONMENTAL health bosses have launched a hunt for the person who dumped a massive mobile home in a lay-by on the outskirts of Sidmouth this week.

The culprit will be hit with a bill for the structure’s removal from the spot at Bulverton, off the B3176, and could face court. An East Devon District Council spokesman told the Herald yesterday: “We will arrange for the mobile home to be removed at the first available opportunity.

“Once we establish the identity of the owner, we will be sending them the bill for removal and, if necessary, will take court action to recover these costs.”
