A TRANSPORT charity is calling on Christmas shoppers to leave their cars at home.

Community Transport for the Lewes Area (CTLA) has made the plea in a bid to ease congestion in the town.

They instead recommend people to use the bus with Compass buses running a Saturday and Sunday service. The routes operate across Lewes including Nevill, Landport, Malling, Lewes Rail Station, Winterbourne and Southover.
