The South Holmes estate in Roffey is a leafy suburban area that doesn't look
run-down or crime ridden.
Yet it has won a grant from the Home Office for no fewer than 13 closed circuit TV cameras to be monitored by police at Haywards Heath.
The grant to this single estate near Horsham is bigger than that given to whole towns in other parts of the county.
Its number of cameras is more than twice those allocated to areas with a real crime problem such as Moulsecoomb in Brighton.
Congratulations to the residents for getting the Home Office, councils, police and estate owners on their side.
Perhaps they will now let other areas with worse problems into the secret of how they managed it.
