00:00 Hey there, my name's Connor Gormley. I'm a trainee reporter for Sussex World and this is our daily news bulletin which is all about bringing you the biggest stories from across both East and West Sussex.
00:11 Chichester Curry House has been named the best in the South East at this year's English Curry Awards which are held in Birmingham.
00:18 Masala City is a firm favourite in Chichester, well known for its high standards and the inventive menu. Co-owner Murad Hussain said the team are delighted to have been recognised.
00:29 The closure of roadworks on the A27 could be delayed after the contractors responsible, Buckingham Brute Contracting, announced intention to appoint administrators, claiming it is unable to continue trading at this time.
00:40 A spokesperson attributed the decision to contract losses and a reduction in liquidity and National Highways has made clear that it's aware of the situation and plans to cooperate with the developer to make sure the works are completed.
00:53 Meanwhile in Bexhill, plans to turn caravans into permanent homes have been branded inappropriate amid fears about flooding. Operators said that plans to turn caravans in Barnhorn Manor Caravan Park into permanent homes would worsen flooding in the area by overloading the sewage system.
01:11 In an application document, however, planners have insisted the conversion would have several economic benefits, including the reuse of an underutilised brownfield site.
