A woman is offering a £500 reward for the safe return of her wedding ring which she believes she lost on a train.

Joanna Baxter, 33, from Wivelsfield Green in East Sussex, said the cash will be offered with "no questions asked".

The ring is engraved with the name of her husband and the date of their wedding - "James 17.2.17"

Ms Baxter said she took the Southern train at 17:23 GMT from London Bridge to Haywards Heath last Thursday. From there, she took the 18:12 GMT to Plumpton.

She told the BBC: "It's our first wedding anniversary next month and I am desperate to get it back by then."

Her tweet to Southern rail appealing for help has been shared more than a thousand times.

Councillors have approved plans for an oil company to explore for fossil fuels in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, despite nearly 3,000 people objecting.

Cuadrilla Resources drilled a well in Balcombe in 2013 to test for oil flow but the initial licence has expired.

West Sussex County Council agreed to allow its new application to explore the Lower Stumble site.

Campaigners fear if oil is found, the company will begin further drilling, at a detriment to the local environment and community.

Police are appealing for witnesses to an arson attack on a caravan in Durrington in Worthing.

A white caravan parked in a lay-by in Jevington Close was destroyed by the fire which started between 00:30 GMT and 00:45 GMT on Sunday 7 January.

PC Dave Slade said: "This had the potential for even more serious consequences if anyone had been sleeping inside at the time.

"The caravan was totally destroyed in only a short space of time, with gas canisters inside and outside also having the potential to cause further damage to both the caravan and nearby properties.

"Thankfully the canisters were unaffected."

Someone was seen running away from the caravan when the blaze started to take hold, Sussex Police said.

Protests are planned outside County Hall in Chichester this morning where councillors are voting on a planning application to test for oil and gas in Balcombe.

The village made national headlines in 2013 with a summer of demonstrations by protesters who feared fracking there.

The company, Cuadrilla, insists fracking is not an option and says it simply wants to carry out tests to work out the site's potential.

West Sussex County Council will consider whether to grant permission at a meeting this morning.
