A meeting has been held to discuss traffic issues at a dangerous junction.
Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, convened the meeting with Sussex Police, local councillors, and representatives from the A267 Road Safety Group to address concerns about the A267/A272 junction between Cross In Hand and Five Ashes.
This follows a recent fatal crash near the A267 junction with Mayfield Flat.
The crash prompted the formation of a community group aimed at reducing and preventing collisions on this stretch of road.
The meeting, supported by Hadlow Down Parish Council chairman Councillor Michael Lunn, was attended by Councillor Bob Standley, representatives from Sussex Police including the Wealden District Commander, and A267 Road Safety Group members Melvyn Butcher and Sarah Jones.
Ms Ghani said: "From correspondence from local residents and councillors, I know the strength of feeling on the matter.
"I have made representations to Sussex Police and requested that data on the number of incidents and reports of near misses is shared with the parish council, so that together we can explore opportunities for introducing traffic calming measures and more warning signs along the A267.
"I would like to thank Councillor Michael Lunn and the A267 Road Safety Group for their work on the matter and I will continue working with them and our parish councils, district council, East Sussex Highways and Sussex Police on what more can be done to help make the A267 safer."
The group is now working to secure traffic calming measures and improve road safety.
