Mr Herbert raised the issue directly with Sussex Chief Constable Joe Edwards when they met to discuss policing issues recently.

Bury residents have approached the local MP to ask if he can help to press for new action to deal with speeding on the A29 through the village.

On Sundays in the summer hundreds of bikers converge on the Whiteways roundabout on the A29 and some race up Bury Hill. The noise of the engines screams across the village and disturbs local residents.

Mr Herbert has taken up the issue with Sussex Police at the request of local residents on previous occasions, but now believes that a new approach will be necessary.
