The success of a petition set up by a woman in Eastbourne has prompted the council to cover up cobbles that were causing issues for older residents.

Monica Richards lives in the Andwell Court retirement flats in Trinity Place and said ever since she moved in four years ago the cobbles by the Premier Inn ‘have been a pain’.

Monica said, “I myself have many a time had to walk in the road to avoid them, when talking to residents it become apparent that they were having falls and getting their walking aids stuck in between the cobbles and not being able to walk safely on the pavement.
