A SUPERMARKET has launched an investigation after a large amount of its waste was dumped in a park in Brighton.
The co-op said it would speak to its contractor after dismayed residents found items, which appeared to be from its Lewes Road store in East Brighton Park.
The store’s name appeared on a cardboard box with a flytip, one of many items found by residents yesterday.

Carts, a filing cabinet and a national lottery stand were also among the “shocking” amount of materials thrown away.
A Co-op spokesperson said: “We are investigating with our contractor how the materials were disposed of and are sorry they were not properly recycled or sent for disposal.
“Immediate action has been taken for the materials to be collected.”
