A COUPLE who claim to have seen Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings on a second lockdown trip to Durham have filed an official complaint with the police watchdog.

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

Mr Cummings has denied making a second trip, insisting that photos and data on his phone disprove the allegation.
