Victim: Shirley Leedham

Police will today revisit the spot where a 70-year-old woman was knocked down and killed by a hit-and-run driver.

A police contact point is being set up on the A20 in Harrietsham where grandmother Shirley Leedham died.

More than 1,000 drivers were questioned in road checks after the incident - which happened at around 8.40am on Thursday, October 9 - but all the leads generated have now been thoroughly investigated and police are hoping this measure will bring in fresh information.

PC Guy Ditcher of the Serious Collision and Investigation Unit said: "A log book will be available where people can write information anonymously, or alternatively officers will be on hand to discuss the incident in person.

"I'd like to thank all those who have already assisted us and would urge anyone who has so far not come forward to do so and help us bring justice for the family of Mrs Leedham."
