Residents have been left angered after a large amount of furniture was found fly-tipped near a beauty spot in Woodbridge.

A three-seater leather sofa, microwave, camp bed and bathroom cabinet were among some of the items dumped in the car park near the National Trust's Kyson Hill site.

The rubbish was found on Sunday afternoon.

Alona Ochert, who discovered the fly-tipping said: "It riles me to the core.

"This is shameful behaviour. This is unnecessary, unpleasant and frankly unsightly.

“The success to our environmental concerns comes when we all work together and we all care about the environment – and that means corresponding appropriate behaviour.”
