00:00 Hi there, Sussex World reporter Connor Gormley here and this is our daily news bulletin where

00:05 I run you through all the biggest stories from across both East and West Sussex today.

00:09 Passengers, air control staff and flight attendants breathed a collective sigh of relief last night

00:15 as a flight from Ibiza to London City Airport which was diverted to Gatwick touched down on

00:21 solid ground having wrestled with Storm Isha. The storm caused disruption across the airways,

00:26 it kept railway services leaving Crawley train station from travelling at anything more than

00:31 50 miles per hour and caused issues for motorists on Ifield Road when a fallen tree blocked the way.

00:38 It's causing problems up and down the country and Sussex is no exception. Elsewhere in Sussex

00:44 several towns were named the most depressing in the UK including Eastbourne, Haywardsheath,

00:49 Crawley, Wadhurst, Hastings, Bexhill, Bognor Regis, Chichester and Rye. It's all part of

00:55 I Live Here's yearly search for the worst places to live in the UK although this year's survey does

01:00 have a twist as the title suggests and judges are looking for the UK's most depressing towns

01:05 rather than simply the worst although personally if you ask me the difference seems largely

01:10 semantic but so far 153 towns have made the shortlist including those up above.

01:16 In later news a Sussex pub which closed down just before Christmas has reopened today.

01:22 The Backs Castle in Southwater announced its reopening after weeks of refurbishment works

01:27 and to celebrate it will be offering new beers, wine, spirits and an all-new food menu.

01:32 Pub landlords thanked regulars and passers-by for their interest and support and it seems like

01:37 they're looking forward to a really bright new chapter in the building's centuries-long history.

01:42 That's all from me news-wise for the minute but if you're looking for more news, more photos,
