Residents in Tillington and Petworth are calling for action to end their 'weekend nightmare' after the recent fine weather saw motorcyclists return to the A272 in large numbers.

Villagers have long complained about the noise, pollution and danger of motorcyclists using the A272 at weekends.

Jeremy Edwardes, who is calling on Petworth Town Council to take up the issue, told the Observer: “At weekends Petworth from an early hour becomes a rat run for motorcycles on their way to breakfast etc. Particularly bad is the hill from Pound Street and Station Road in Petworth leading to Tillington and then to Midhurst.
