Family and friends are growing increasingly concerned about a woman who went missing just before Christmas.

Hazel Joy Mepham, 46, has not been seen since December 20 when she appeared upset.

Police are today urging her to make contact so her family can be reassured she has come to no harm.

She was last seen at her home in St Leonards Road, Bexhill, at about 10am and is described as white, about 5ft 2in, slim with grey/brown eyes and slightly curly hair.
