RESIDENTS are calling for the closure of a sand pit because they fear it is being used as a litter tray by foxes and humans.

Mark Brocklehurst from Worthing has called on his local council to close the town centre sand pit at night after claiming he saw pictures on Facebook of revellers urinating in the pit.

In a petition to the council, which has already attracted 150 supporters, he also claims that urban foxes use the sandpit as a litter tray.
