A MESSAGE to the people who dump their unwanted furniture, pictured above, and other items in the woodland behind Westwood car park at the end of Weston Parade.

Please could you leave your rubbish in the car park rather than hurling it into the woodland?

Then volunteers like me would be spared the task of extracting it from the nettles and brambles.

Even better, why not take your unwanted items to the recycling centre in Grange Road, Netley, which is only five minutes’ drive away, where they can be disposed of free of charge?

RICHARD EVANS, Southampton.
