00:00 Hi there, my name is Sam from Sussex World and today's top stories from around the

00:04 county for Friday December 15th. A bus operator has stopped serving parts of Hastings due

00:09 to repeated vandalism it is said. Stagecoach has decided to divert services from White

00:14 Rock Garden area on Bohemia Road after 4pm until further notice. Joel Mitchell, Managing

00:19 Director at Stagecoach South East said "We're so gutted the local teams have worked so hard.

00:24 We've had a driver shortage. On Saturday we had two windows put through. On Sunday

00:29 we had a further two windows put through. On Tuesday evening we had another two windows

00:32 put through." That's six buses that have now been unavailable. A young dolphin has

00:38 been found stranded on a beach in Sussex. The dolphin was found on Hove Beach on Monday

00:42 December 11th by Rob DeVille. The young sea creature was found with two deep lacerations

00:47 to the body which have potentially been caused by impact from a propeller. And finally, Eastbourne

00:54 Pop Culture event Wintercon is set to leave the town after 10 years and will be heading

00:58 to Hastings for 2024. Wintercon celebrated its 10th year in Eastbourne with an action-packed

01:03 family-friendly event. However, Wintercon founder Andy Kiber announced that the event

01:07 will be leaving the town and heading to Hastings for next year. He said "The tough decision

01:12 to relocate for Wintercon 11 was driven primarily by the unsustainable increases in our venue

01:16 costs. Our high cost for Eastbourne's Winter Garden, our traditional venue, suffered a

01:20 steep increase of 58% in 2023."
