Couple who say they saw Dominic Cummings on lockdown trip complain to UK watchdog

British police had found that Boris Johnson's aide may have travelled to the North East, including a visit to Barnard Castle, with his family earlier in April.

Mr Cummings has denied making this second trip, insisting photos and data on his phone disprove the allegations.

A couple who claim to have seen Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings on a second lockdown trip to Durham in the north-east of England have filed an official complaint to the UK's police watchdog, according to reports.

Dave and Clare Edwards told the Daily Mirror that they informed police in May that they had seen Boris Johnson’s chief adviser while walking in Houghall Woods near Durham on April 19, the weekend after he had returned to work in London.
