Man charged over speed bump damage
Digger
Mr Beesley said he used a digger to destroy the bump
A man from Oxford has been charged with criminal damage after he admitted digging up a speed bump outside his home.

Ian Beesley from Ferry Hinksey Road in West Oxford is accused of causing criminal damage to the road surface.

Mr Beesley said he dug up the speed bump because of the noise made by lorries as they drove over it.
