High street food chain Pret A Manger is to trial a deposit return scheme for its plastic bottles in three shops in Brighton from Tuesday 10 April.

It will accept and recycle all plastic bottles taken into Pret shops at Brighton Station, and in East Street and North Street.

It will also add 10p to all plastic Pret bottles sold and return 10p for each Pret bottle handed back in for recycling.

Clive Schlee, chief executive officer of Pret, said if successful, the scheme could be extended across the country during the autumn.

The 2K11 Krug medium-range air defence missile is expected to sell for £15,000 to £25,000.

Summers Place Auctions in Billingshurst said the Russians started to develop the system in 1958 and first unveiled it at a military parade in Moscow in 1965. The weapon was briefly used in Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980 but later withdrawn.

The future of a golf club due to shut at the end of the month will be discussed again by councillors.

Large numbers of campaigners attended a specially-arranged meeting on the future of Deangate Ridge Golf Club in Hoo on Monday to hear Medway Council's regeneration, culture and environment overview and scrutiny committee assess its cabinet's decision to close the facility at the end of March.

Following campaigning from residents and three petitions attracting a total of nearly 4,000 signatures - mainly focusing on a perceived lack of consultation - Conservative members of the committee agreed to refer the decision back to cabinet.

Labour's four representatives on the panel abstained after their own motion to send the decision to full council for reconsideration was voted down.

If the decision is upheld, Deangate Ridge will close its doors to the public on 31 March.

The date of the cabinet meeting to discuss the matter is currently unknown.

Council officials insist there was "no legal duty" to consult on the proposed closure.

Luke Allum opened his business in Sheerness last September.

There have been further dog attacks on sheep at Cissbury Ring, near Worthing, to the frustration of police who say they've issued repeated warnings for dogs to be kept under control.

In the most recent, on Saturday, a ewe suffered such severe head injuries she had to be destroyed to end her suffering.

One of the attacks took place in a field where a farmer-led event highlighting the problems of sheep worrying took place just a week before, while a second occurred on the same day on the same farm.

The event was attended by dog owners who regularly exercise their pets in the area.

Sgt Tom Carter, from Sussex Police, said he was "incredibly frustrated" the attacks were continuing.

"I'm incensed that dog owners are still letting their pets run loose among livestock and cause dreadful suffering to the sheep that they are savaging.

"One of these attacks happened only yards away from one of our signs warning about keeping dogs on a lead," he said.

Extra staff could be taken on to crack down on dangerous and inconsiderate parking outside schools in Brighton and Hove.

Forty-five schools in the city have approached the council saying they're fed up with drivers stopping on yellow lines and "keep clear" road markings.

Councillors will vote next Tuesday on whether to bring in three new enforcement officers and additional patrols to clampdown on offenders.

The council would also buy two new scooters to enable officers to respond more quickly to reported problems.

Currently two assigned enforcement officers have been visiting one school in the morning and one in the afternoon, but the additional resource will more than double their capability.

Funding for the extra officers would be paid for by penalty charge notice income, with 20% coming out of the parking services budget.
