A SOFA, five children’s car seats and broken chipboard were among a pile of rubbish dumped on Devil’s Dyke on Monday morning.

Brighton and Hove City Council has said it deals with 160 reports like this every month.

These pictures were taken by disgusted Brighton resident Kerri Howard, who was walking along the path up to the golf club.

Mrs Howard posted the images online in hopes of sending a message to whoever was responsible.

Speaking about the perpetrators she said: “You disgust me.

“This isn’t your dumping ground, this is our city and we want it to be clean and safe.”

Also included in the illegal dump was green rope, wood, plastic containers, and, ironically, a dustpan and brush.

Mrs Howard said: “It was mostly household stuff that could have been dumped at the tip.

“If you want to live in our city you need to respect it.

“I hate people that think things like this are acceptable.

Brighton and Hove City Council has said it has to deal with about 160 fly tipping reports every month.

That does not include those identified and cleared by its streets teams.

A council spokesman said: “The message is that those responsible will be fined and in extreme cases prosecuted.

“Residents are fed up with people simply dumping things on the street, around existing bins or on our beautiful open spaces, creating eyesores and leaving it up to the council to clear up and taxpayers to pay for it.”

Earlier this month Brighton’s “largest flytip in years” was dumped near a school.

Flytippers left 2.5 tonnes of rubble, bin bags, paint tins and cupboards on a path near St John the Baptist Primary School in Whitehawk Hill Road, Brighton, on the morning of October 3.

The two men seen speeding up Whitehawk Hill Road in a white tipper truck have still not been located, despite an appeal for information by the council.

The council’s spokesman added: “Flytipping is not only illegal, it is irresponsible and can spread disease, encourage vermin and release toxic chemicals into the environment.

“It also means hazardous objects and chemicals are lying around where

young children could be harmed.”
