In a Twitter thread, West Oxfordshire District Council said it wasn't sure whether Storm Barra blew the bin onto the lamp post or whether someone was responsible.

It said in a tweet: "We aren’t sure whether a particularly strong gust caught this bin or if someone had a few too many sherries before putting out their bins last night."

The council reminded people that it is a criminal act to take someone's bin and that leaving them in a 'precarious position' is dangerous.
