Damian Quillan, from Christchurch, says he left the doors leaning against his home for four hours.
A man has refused to pay a fly-tipping fine he says was issued after he left two old doors outside his home for four hours.
He said his wife took them to the tip on the same afternoon but they received a fine from Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council five days later.Mr Quillan would like to see enforcement officers knock on people's doors and explain the situation before issuing finesHe said there was "no obstruction" and so he appealed the £500 fine, which has now increased to £1,000.
He said he had "no direct communication with the enforcement officer" who took the photographs of the door, and the first he heard of the issue was when he "received the letter in the post".Mr Quillan, who risks court action for not paying the fine, said there needed to be better "education" from council contractors, who he described as "overzealous enforcement teams".
