Dad on benefits fined £900 for leaving children’s toys in communal garden on health and safety grounds.

Housing officials have fined a dad-of-three £900 for leaving his children’s toys out in a communal garden after they branded them a health and safety hazard.

Ben Keitch, 24, was stunned when he was told the wooden swing and toy cars were a fire risk – meaning he had breached his tenancy agreement.

He even cleared the toys – including a kid’s table and chairs – from the communal garden in Lingmell Court in Worcester, prior to his court appearance.

However, the dad, who has two sons aged one and four and a two-year-old daughter, was still fined when he appeared at Worcester County Court on January 8.
