Flytipping team hits the streets of Eastbourne
Eastbourne Borough Council’s Neighbourhood First team joined forces with Sussex Police to get out and about to spread the message that flytippers will be prosecuted.
They also wanted to alert local residents that if paying a business to take their rubbish away, they should always check they are legal and registered.

The council has had several successful recent prosecutions for flytipping with more in the pipeline.
