An MP has joined a campaign to make a road safer.

Bexhill and Battle MP Gregory Barker has asked East Sussex County Council to introduce traffic calming measures in Gunter's Lane, Bexhill.

People living in the area have complained about the speed of some of the cars who use it as a 'rat run'.

Mr Barker said: "Residents along Gunter's Lane have had to endure the misery of speeding traffic for a long time and the problem is only getting worse.

"I am calling for new speed reduction measures to be introduced along this busy road."
