One of these is to close two of its 11 household waste recycling sites, although the authority has not confirmed which locations it is looking at.

In response Matt Stanley, a Lib Dem town and district councillor, has started a petition demanding the town’s tip is taken off the list for potential closures.

He said it would enable the community to ‘send a clear message that we need to retain this local amenity for the town’.

The next nearest sites to Bognor Regis are Westhampnett near Chichester and Littlehampton.

Mr Stanley, who is standing as a candidate in next year’s county council elections, said: “There is a suggestion that the county council could close two of their civic amenity tips, this course of action will undoubtedly lead to chaos and a surge in fly-tipping as we saw during the first national lockdown.”
