Published Date:

HAILSHAM PCSOs are the latest weapon in the war against speeding drivers.
The community support officers are now trained to use speed trap devices and are targeting areas of the town where residents feel speed is an issue.
These include five of the town's major roads — Battle Road, Ersham Road, South Road, Gleneagles Drive and Hawks Road.
Sgt Ruth Hammerton said, "Unlike the Road Policing Unit, the PCSOs will not be restricted to 'accident hot spots' but can and do check areas where local people feel issues exsist.
"Currently we are concentrating on Battle Road, Ersham Road, South Road, Gleneagles Drive and Hawks Road."
The PCSOs are also clamping down on illegal parking and regularly issue tickets where appropriate. They also patrol the local schools at dropping off and picking up time after complaints from residents.
