Trolleybuses 'could help lead Hastings' regeneration'

Enthusiasts say bringing trolleybuses back to Hastings would help lead the area's regeneration.

Members of the Hastings Trolleybus Restoration Group say things like overhead power cables could be added fairly cheaply and it could cut pollution.

The Borough Council says the idea could cost tens of millions of pounds and says that's too expensive.

Arrow FM's Alex Williams reports.
