Campaigners asking for free transport from nightclubs have demonstrated outside a town hall.

The Remember Hayley - Come Home Safe campaign was launched following the death of Hayley Owen on a railway line near Chichester in December, 2004.

Hayley found herself stranded after leaving a nightclub. She attempted to walk home to Worthing, fell on to a live rail and was electrocuted.

Her friends and family, including her mum Cynthia, resolved to campaign to make clubbing safer for young people.

Cynthia, of Chester Avenue, Worthing, was among protesters outside Worthing Town Hall on Tuesday.

Mrs Owen said: "Our campaign is all about getting our young people home safely after they've been out clubbing.

"As every parent knows, things can go wrong when your youngsters go out.

"If they get robbed or lose their money or if they've had too much to drink, they can end up stranded in town in the middle of night because the taxis won't take them. And that's when they need a reliable way of getting home safely."

The campaign group wants a night bus reinstated in Worthing.

Mrs Owen, who is now bringing up Hayley's three-year-old son Kieran, said: "Reinstating the night bus has become far too political.

"We believe it's a sensible way of helping our youngsters get home safely. We have a fully-costed, well thought through business plan, representing real value for money.

"We'll be presenting this to the meeting of the local strategic partnership in March."
