A man's been left with a legal bill of nearly £10,000 after trying to claim compensation for falling because of missing cobbles on a footpath in Scarborough in 2014.

North Yorkshire County Council originally agreed to the claim and made an interim payment of £1,000 to the man who said he'd fallen on Merchant's Row in the town (pictured).
But photographic evidence showed a defect wasn't present at the time the man claimed to have tripped over it.
He agreed to pay the council's full legal costs, a bill of £9,696, less than an hour before the case was due to go to court earlier this month, the council has revealed.
Pedestrians were awarded at least £2.1m in compensation after tripping on pavements in the past year, research has revealed.

Ditch Heartbeat image - North Yorkshire's new top cop
North Yorkshire's new Chief Constable says she wants to get rid of the "Heartbeat" image people associate with the county's force.
North Yorkshire PoliceCopyright: North Yorkshire Police
Filmed in Goathland on the North York Moors, ITV's Heartbeat depicted the cosy life of a police constable in the 1960s.
Lisa Winward (pictured), who took over the top police job in North Yorkshire on Wednesday, started as a special on the force 25 years ago.
GoathlandCopyright: Goathland
She says a recent inspection found North Yorkshire police's efficiency needs to be improved and she's looking at new ways of working with less "old-fashioned bureaucracy".
The Chief Constable says: "The public image may be a little bit Heartbeat, but in reality we’re a modern police service working on 21st Century issues.
"We need slick processes and systems to help us to do that job."
We said we'd try to find out what item was small enough to be put out this way.
So far our investigations have failed to establish what the exact object ablaze was, but have discovered the fire took place in the sink.
If only there had been some water-bearing device near, or even attached to, the sink from which to source water...it's a mystery.
Homes approved for York 'gross over-development'
Plans to build 165 new homes and an 80-bed care home on a former school site in York have been approved.
City of York CouncilCopyright: City of York Council
The City of York Council wants to build 96 houses, 26 bungalows and 18 flats.
The application, approved last night, also includes plans for a police station and health centre.

The plans went through despite objections from deputy leader of the council, Andrew Waller, who fears the site, which is surrounded on all sides by existing housing, would be over-developed.
Councillor Mark Waters, the only member of the panel to object to the application, described it as "a gross over-development, not in the interests of existing residents."
Watch: Cockpit view on the crest of a wave
The weekend is almost upon us and for some that means dashing outside to enjoy nature.
This man in York seeks out tranquility by taking to the River Ouse in his kayak - and he gets to see quite a few interesting sights too.
Watch out for the wild water, the wave surfing, the huge sculpture and the massive carnivorous fish:

Official figures show 10,572 people made claims against local councils, but of those only 859, that's just 8%, were successful.
