00:00 Hello, my name is Laurence Smith and this is your Sussex World News Bulletin for Tuesday, March 5th, 2024.
00:06 Plans to change a former care home into a house in multiple occupation for 28 people have been refused by Chichester District Council.
00:15 The application for the manor in Selsey Road was turned down by planning officers on the grounds that it would mean the loss of a community facility and employment site,
00:23 with not enough evidence being provided to show that it was no longer needed.
00:27 The manor was a care home for 26 adults with learning difficulties.
00:32 Southern Water has explained why tankers have arrived in a West Sussex town.
00:36 Road closures are in place in Southwick, with tankers, cones and fencing also pictured on Monday, March 4th.
00:42 After last week's heavy rainfall, Southern Water said it is working hard to prevent flooding and ensure that sewers are not overwhelmed.
00:49 A spokesperson for the water company said, "Due to the consistent heavy rainfall, the ground in the area has become saturated and the local drains and sewers are inundated with surface water runoff."
00:59 There have been reports of police investigating a car park in Peacehaven in the early hours of this morning.
01:04 Photos showed several police cars and officers at the car park at Balcombe Court in Balcombe Road at around 12.40am.
