Residents in north Moulsecoomb want action over a dimly-lit subway that connects the estate to shops on the other side of the busy A270 Lewes Road.

The subway is an eyesore, with people lighting fires there and using it as a dumping ground for rubbish and even cars.

Many residents do not feel safe using it because it is so dark and dingy. They want it brightened up or closed for good.

The subway was installed so people could safely cross the road without having to cope with the traffic.

It is ironic many are avoiding it because they don't feel secure. The city council and New Deal need to find out what residents want and either clear and properly light the subway or seal it and make a crossing.

As it stands at the moment, no-one is getting a good deal.
