Sharon Mcdermott, of Hailsham Road, returned from visiting her grandson in hospital to ‘about 50 truck-fulls’ of waste dumped on her land.
“It has been a total nightmare,” she said, “I’m lost, I haven’t a clue what to do. I’ve been to the police and the council and they say its not their problem.

Among the rubbish is refrigerators, scrap metal, mattresses and what Ms Mcdermott believes to be asbestos.
A spokesperson for Wealden District Council was contacted and said it is currently investigating the incident and cannot say more at this stage.
