it’s been revealed that night-time safety marshals have been pulled from three major towns in Sussex following Home Office funding cuts.

The towns which include Crawley had marshals patrolling the streets which were run by a private security firm in the evening to help keep people safe after dark.

Chief Inspector Jim Loader from Sussex police said, “Keeping people safe at night remains a priority of the force and officers will continue to provide a proactive, visible presence in the towns affected”.
