Veteran Car Run – High Street

We continue our look into the change to this year’s Veteran Car Run.

Susy Radio learned of a change to the half-way stop in Crawley, from High Street to London Road.

This event has been ongoing for over a century and so tradition is very important.

However it is also an event which must adapt to meet changing needs – and it has not always driven through the High Street.

At the start of the week we heard from the historic George Hotel, agreeing there was a need to move because of a lack of space.

Today we hear from people in the High Street.

Nikki Cheek from the Brewery Shades, John Kneller, a local resident and Sham – manager of Ask Italian, all spoke with us about their concerns.

We have more on the Veteran Car Run throughout the week.

M25 Smart Widening

The Highways Agency have been testing new infra-red cameras on a stretch of the M25 in Kent and Surrey where the motorway is being widened.

The “smart motorway” widening scheme, from junctions 5 to 7 between Sevenoaks and Redhill, means the hard shoulder will now be used as a permanent traffic lane.

Regularly spaced emergency refuge areas have been provided and CCTV cameras installed so the Highways Agency can spot incidents.

Acid Attack in Crawley

Emergency services were called to Lyon Close in Crawley on Tuesday after a suspected acid attack.

The incident happened at around 7pm when a 22-year-old man was attacked by two men just and had the chemical poured over his face and hands.

The victim was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton but was discharged early this morning.
The suspects drove off in a white Vauxhall Astra van along Harper Drive.
