00:00 Hello and welcome to Latest TV News. My name is Jacob Pannins, I'm a reporter for Sussex

00:14 World and I'm going to be speaking to sports reporter Frankie Elliott as we discuss Brighton's

00:19 opening game of the season against Luton and we'll also be talking about how we see the

00:22 rest of the Premier League season panning out. But first, here are your top stories

00:27 from across the county. Wet, wild and windy weather did not deter teams from entering

00:36 the Hastings Carnival Pram Race. The event took place on Wednesday, August 2nd and saw

00:41 teams in fancy dress racing through the streets of the Old Town, pushing elaborate wheeled

00:46 contraptions while collecting money for local charities. Themes included everything from

00:51 Elton John to Alice in Wonderland and even Barbie. On Saturday, August 6th, residents

00:56 and visitors were also treated to the Carnival procession in the Old Town. Local residents

01:01 have voiced their concerns about a proposal at Eastbourne Borough Football Club. Eastbourne

01:06 Borough has placed an application to change the licensing at its ground, known as Priory

01:10 Lane, to allow the club to hold events for up to 2,000 people every Saturday, Sunday

01:15 and on bank holidays. There is also a request to allow the sale of alcohol up to 1am. Some

01:22 residents said they were not made aware of the application long enough before the deadline

01:25 to make comments and concerns have been raised about the potential of anti-social behaviour

01:30 and the detriment to the environment if the application is granted. Residents were subsequently

01:35 invited to the ground to discuss the application and new owner Simon Leslie reaffirmed his

01:40 blueprint for Eastbourne Borough as a community club, while CEO Alan Williams reminded the

01:46 meeting that the whole grounds, administered by the umbrella Acorns you trust, may only

01:50 ever be used for sporting, leisure and recreational use. Eastbourne Borough Council leader Stephen

01:56 Holt has responded to claims from local MP Caroline Ansell that a council-owned building

02:01 in the town has discharged thousands of litres of raw sewage into the sea. Mrs Ansell and

02:06 Councillor Penny D'Carra joined Southern Water's Missed Connections team to see work

02:10 first hand and were updated on progress in finding sewage and waste water pipes wrongly

02:15 and illegally connected to surface water drainage. The MP said she was shown a bathroom that

02:21 was connected to surface water pipes that go straight into the sea, taking untreated

02:25 sewage and other waste items like toilet paper with it. Mr Holt said the issue is being fixed,

02:31 the facilities in the building are not being used and that he believes council officers

02:35 are waiting for Southern Water to approve the final repairs necessary. The much-loved

02:39 wavelength public art is set to return to Bottle Alley Columns in Hastings thanks to

02:44 the efforts of local artists and volunteers. The 480 metre lower deck promenade which runs

02:50 from the pier to Warriors Square has been covered in graffiti tags which have spread

02:54 from the pillars to the 1930s bottle glass walls where it is difficult to remove. Originally

02:59 conceived by Xero as a temporary installation and commissioned by the Hastings Art Festival

03:04 Coastal Currents, this art became a long-term fixture due to the positive public response.

03:10 But Hastings Council say despite their best efforts and those of the artists and the foreshore

03:15 trust it became impossible to continually restore the paintwork. Now thanks to Daniel

03:21 Hardiker and Neil Hetherington from Xero as well as local volunteers, new artwork is being

03:26 created. An area in Sussex is one of the safest places in the UK to live according to research

03:32 from a hardware company. The new study from Hyatt Hardware analysed 2022 crime data from

03:38 across the UK's local authority areas and found that Wealdon in East Sussex ranked fourth

03:42 in the country with an overall breaking and entering score of 0.69 out of 10. Wealdon

03:49 only faces 1.62 robberies, 16.37 burglaries and 24.89 vehicle offences per 100,000 people.

03:58 The study looked at the number of robberies, burglaries, vehicle offences and deaths from

04:03 persons per 100,000 people to reveal where in the UK is the safest to live with the least

04:09 amount of home break-ins.
