I was encouraged to read recently (The Argus, April 24) that the Countryside Alliance has launched a campaign against fly-tipping.
It was about time someone did.
This has been a problem in my area for some time, with rubbish being tipped in Slugwash Lane, Wivelsfield, up the Ditchling Beacon road and along the road towards Hollingbury.
The stress and expense that flytipping causes ordinary members of the public, as well as local authorities, is to be contrasted with the total selfishness of those who fly-tip.
When will people realise that when they do this they are ruining our environment, making the county look like a scrapheap and potentially harming livestock and people. Stop the selfishness -- we and our local authorities have enough to worry about without having to clear up illegally dumped rubbish.
Well done, Countryside Alliance, for making a noise about this.
