Saltdean is simply a steep hill with shops either side.

We have no car park, which means the road is lined with traffic at all hours of the day, making crossing it a bit of a hazard.

Additionally, our pavements are in such a bad condition, making shopping something of an ordeal.

I am 84 and have fallen three times and many of my friends here have also fallen. Any shopkeeper will tell you I got up a petition of more than 200 names which has done the rounds with no effect on the powers that be.

We want decent pavements and signs on the roads saying "Elderly people crossing". It's no good waiting for someone to get killed, is it?
