Eastbourne Borough Council’s Neighbourhood First team works with the local community to improve the neighbourhood and helps with issues such as fly-tipping, dog fouling, littering and street cleaning, abandoned vehicles and fallen-down trees.

Councillor Jonathan Dow said, “Our Neighbourhood First team is leading the way on tackling this problem.

“This should be a warning to anyone who illegally dumps waste.

“We will take immediate action when a report of fly-tipping is received.”
