The Alliance of British Drivers is calling for the tolls at the Dartford crossing to be scrapped completely.

The Government plans to remove the existing barriers by autumn next year but motorists will still have to pay to use the crossing by phone, text or online.

The Alliance says the free-flow charging will cause inconvenience for drivers having to remember to pay and that they risk getting fined if they forget, plus the hassle of running such a system.

Motorists in West Sussex are being urged to drive slowly down roads that have been affected by flooding over the Christmas period.

The County Council says there has been an increase in the number and size of potholes because of the heavy rain.

Part of the A27 near Chichester was closed over Christmas due to flooding.
