00:00 Hi, my name is Sam from the Sussex World and here are today's top stories from around the
00:04 county for Wednesday, February 28th.
00:07 A driver has been treated for injuries following a bus collision which saw the vehicle come
00:10 off the road in Pevensey. Sussex Police responded to reports of a bus having been involved in
00:14 a collision in Walsing Road at about 9.50pm last night.
00:19 The driver was treated at the scene by the ambulance service for minor injuries, police

00:35 The historic Winter Garden in Eastbourne could finally get a facelift, years after securing
00:38 funds. A planning application for improvement works to the Grade II listed building in Compton
00:42 Street has been submitted to Eastbourne Borough Council and comes nearly four years after
00:47 it was announced that the council would receive £1.6m from the government's Getting Building
