Motorists are being warned of road closures as a 255ft-long (78m) load is moved between Shoreham and Ninfield on Sunday.

The electricity transformer, which is 15ft (4.6m) wide and weighs 331 tonnes, is due to leave Shoreham Port at 05:30 GMT and arrive in Potmans Lane, Ninfield, at about 14:00.

Sussex Police said delays should be expected in the area, particularly on the A27 between Lewes and Polegate, and on the A259 at Little Common and Bexhill.

A similar transformer was moved between Shoreham Port and Henfield on 25 February.

BBC Radio Oxford has marked International Women's Day by handing over the reigns of its breakfast show to Philippa Bilton.

She is a descendent of suffragette Emily Wilding Davison, who died in June 1913 when she ran out in front of the king's horse during the Epsom Derby.

Some call her death a deliberate suicide, which succeeded in drawing global attention to the cause of votes for women. Others say she was trying to disrupt the race, but not to die.

Ms Bilton says gender inequality has come back into the spotlight in the past five years: "These women's issues and the hashtag #MeToo are now mainstream...it's not going to go away"

A watch owned by Kenneth Williams and used by the actor to wake himself up for every early film call, has been sold at auction.

The 1960s Swiza clock was sold alongside letters from the Carry On star at an auction at Farleigh Golf Club in Surrey on Wednesday.

It was sold for £1,100, after being expected to fetch between £60 and £100.

The clock came with a letter from Williams which said: "This dear old clock has unfailingly wakened me since 1960 for every early film call I've had."

A spokeswoman for the auctioneers, Catherine Southon, said: "There was a huge amount of interest online, but finally went to a private collector bidding on the phone from Gibraltar."

Schools in West Sussex are calling on parents to write to their MPs over classroom funding.

Some headteachers have been campaigning for months over the Government's new funding formula - saying it puts their budgets in a critical condition.

The Department for Education says the calcuations are misleading - and it is investing an additional £1.3 billion in school funding.

Plans for a school expansion will be considered later.

Kent County Council is due to discuss the proposal to permanently increase the intake of Dartford Grammar School for Girls from 160 to 180 pupils.

If agreed, the selective school would provide an extra 20 places to Year 7 pupils in September.

The £600,000 expansion comes after primary schools in the town have received higher demand for places than predicted. Dartford Grammar School for Girls have been contacted for a comment.

A motoring group described the figures as "frightening" and said drivers were "right to appeal".

Jubilee Way in Dover has now reopened.

It was shut just after 13:00 GMT, after reports that a woman had fallen from the carriageway into the Eastern Docks.

Detectives investigating historical allegations of sexual abuse at a primary school in Mid Sussex have made a public appeal for anyone with information to come forward.

Sussex Police officers said they had received a report from an ex-pupil at Hassocks Windmills Primary School that a former member of staff may have committed offences against children 40 years ago.

Detectives want to trace anyone who went to the school during the mid and early 1970s.

No arrests have been made, and police said the claims are not linked to anyone currently at the school.
