Sofa fly-tipped on Wiltshire village lane

The hunt is on to find who dumped a couch in a village lane in south Wiltshire.

The distinctive sofa was found on Millbrook Lane in East Knoyle not far from the A350.

Wiltshire Council has dubbed the person responsible the 'sofa sinner' and launched an appeal to find them.

Anyone who recognises the sofa or knows who dumped it is urged to contact the local authority via email - environmentalenforcement@wiltshire.gov.uk.

Last month a resident from a Salisbury estate was fined for fly-tipping a sofa in a communal area ( LINK)

Rubbish dumped illegally costs Wiltshire Council more than £180,000 a year.

In 2020 the local authority launched a new campaign to encourage members of the public to report offenders.
