Each charge alleges Tierney requested householders to pay deposits for landscaping and then failed to carry out the work.

Tierney, of Langley Close, Redcar, also faces one count of being a trader knowingly or recklessly engaging in a commercial practice.

He appeared before Teesside Magistrates’ Court for the first time on Tuesday, October 18.

No pleas were entered as Tierney’s solicitor asked for more time to consider the prosecution’s case.

The bench agreed to adjourn proceedings until December 2 and Tierney was granted unconditional bail.
