ROADSIDE MEMORIALS TO BE TAKEN AWAY
A POLICY to manage, but not ban, laying floral tributes and memorials at the site of fatal accidents was agreed on Tuesday by East Sussex County Council.
Councillor Matthew Lock, Lead Cabinet Member for Transport & Environment, said: 'This is a highly sensitive issue both for families who lose a loved one and for local people living near the scene of an accident.
'This is not a decision we have taken lightly: we do not want to stop people grieving, or ban flowers at the site of accidents, but we do want to manage it more effectively for road safety reasons.
