An Oktoberfest event on The Level in Brighton has received a licence to sell alcohol.

Conditions agreed with Sussex Police include providing a dedicated space for vulnerable people during the event on Friday 12 October and Saturday 13 October.

Further conditions include ensuring a noise monitoring contact number is included in a letter to residents in the area and for noise management arrangements to be in place.

Oktoberfest is being organised by an events company called Whiskey Bravo Productions.

Whiskey Bravo managing director Ian Baird said: "In all honesty there are no restrictions on here we hadn't intended on putting upon ourselves anyway.

"We're here to work with, not against, the community and be part of the diverse mix offered to the residents of the city."

St Peter's and North Laine Green councillor Pete West spoke on behalf of residents at the panel meeting and described the complaints from last year's event as "harrowing".

After more than three years of construction, the Rampion Offshore Windfarm off Brighton is almost finished.

Altogether 116 wind turbines have been installed and together they have the capacity to generate 1,400 gigawatt hours of power for the south east.

That is enough to provide around 350,000 homes with electricity every year.

Chichester District Council has pledged itself to an action plan to reduce the use of single-use plastics such as bottles and bags.

The action plan was approved at a meeting of the cabinet on Tuesday.

The meeting was told that the aim was to phase out single-use plastics from council premises, to run an awareness campaign reducing the use by residents and businesses, and to give continued support to community anti-pollution groups.

John Connor, cabinet member for environment services, said: "This is an issue of increasing concern to our residents.

"From the litter in the street to micro-plastics in our seas, support is growing for making some simple changes.

"And from the single-use plastic bag surcharge, through to consumer pressure against the use of non-recyclables, it's shown that it can be done and that these changes can be made relatively easily."

Mr Connor said the action plan would "build on and complement" the council's Against Litter campaign.

Susan Taylor (Con, East Wittering) said she was pleased to see that some of the plan would involve working with West Sussex County Council's education team.

She added: "There's nothing like children to ensure that parents behave properly. I think that's a very good move."

Clare Balding hears the uplifting story of how walking helped a young man recover from a brain injury.

At the age of 23, Matt Masson fell off a roof during a night out. He was in a coma for six weeks and, when he awoke, couldn't walk, talk or sit-up. When his voice returned, so did a determination to return to his previously active life. Walking formed a central part of his rehab; his first goal was to walk just 300 metres but by 2014 Matt had walked the Amsterdam Marathon which took 9 hours and 37 minutes.

In this edition of Ramblings, Matt and his mother, Anne, walk a stretch of the Centurion Way in Chichester and recall his many endeavours. The Centurion Way is a route between Chichester and West Dean which follows the line of part of the disused Chichester to Midhurst Railway.

Kent Police are joining forces with six other constabularies in a bid to save the taxpayer millions.

The forces are teaming up to purchase products together to get better deals.

Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott hopes the tie-up will lead to more collaboration in the future between the seven constabularies.

Kent, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Hertfordshire and Suffolk forces will be developing business cases as a single unit through a body dubbed the Eastern Region Alliance Summit.

The seven-force programme has a £1.2m yearly budget with an additional £150,000 available for hiring consultants.

Commissioners hope this partnership will save taxpayers millions and help the forces become more efficient.

Campaigners who opposed the Hastings Harbour Quarter Project plans say the town should consider applying for UNESCO World Heritage status to protect against future development.

Green Party campaigners raised the idea at meeting on Monday as Hastings Borough Council's Labour-controlled cabinet responded to a 1,100-strong petition objecting to the proposed development.

While the plans have now been withdrawn, lead petitioner Julia Hilton, of Hastings Green Party, criticised council leaders for agreeing to offer support to the "strategic case" at a meeting in September last year.

Addressing cabinet members, Ms Hilton said: "I have watched with interest the spin the council has been putting on this announcement, claiming that the development was rejected because it didn't meet the council's requirements.

"But the decision taken at the cabinet meeting last December was unanimous in allowing this destructive development to take the next step forward, trying to seek public money for the company to do feasibility studies.

"It is a relief that the relevant government departments had enough sense to realise how destructive this proposal could be and refused any public subsidy being given to the developers.

"The report to cabinet back in September stated that the council had to be seen to be up for development.

"It should have been clear from the start that this proposal was absolutely the wrong plan in the wrong place. No amount of requirements would have made it acceptable."

Responding to Ms Hilton's comments, council leader Peter Chowney said: "The developer has not said it was the red lines which caused them to withdraw the scheme - they said they couldn't get the funding for it - but I think those red lines that we laid down would have made it more expensive.

"All those red lines were about is if a scheme came forward, then this is what we would want it to comply with. This was never actually a scheme, it was only ever a concept.

"When developers come to you with a half billion pound idea and say 'we want to explore this with you' it is quite hard to just say 'go away, we don't want to talk about it at all'.

"But in this case no actual plan, or proposal, ever came forward so none of that was really necessary."

Councillor Chowney also defended the process of communicating with developers who put forward proposals which could affect the town.

He said: "We have to say that if any developer comes forward with any scheme then we have to talk to them about it. That would apply whether it was a community group, local people or a commercial developer."

Public toilets in Chichester are to get their first refurbishment in 30 years thanks to £65,000 from the district council.

As well as an overall revamp, work planned for the toilets, in Tower Street, will see the disabled facilities brought up to scratch and all drainage issues resolved.

The money was approved at a meeting of the Cabinet and will be used alongside £85,000 already allocated from the Asset Replacement Programme.

The work was described as 'long overdue' by councillors, with leader Tony Dignum adding that the disabled toilets were currently 'not fit for purpose'.

Work is not expected to start until 2019. Should it cost lest than expected, the remaining money will be returned to the reserves.

A car park in Midhurst is to get a £55,000 facelift amid fears its deteriorating surface could become a health and safety issue.

At a meeting of Chichester District Council's cabinet, members approved the release of £55,000 from reserves to carry out work at the North Street car park.

A report to the meeting stated: "The surface is now deteriorating at an increased rate and there is concern that unless the car park is completely re-surfaced it could present a health and safety issue."

The money will be used to re-line and resurface the 177-space car park.

The meeting was told that the work was likely to be carried out on a phased basis to ensure the car park could still be partly used.

Extra spaces will be made available at Grange Road and in the post office car park while the work is carried out.

An e-fit of a suspect in the burglary of a 99-year-old Surrey man's home has been released by police.

The suspect entered the victim's home in the Halliford Road area of Sunbury-on-Thames at about 11:00 BST on 8 September after allegedly pretending to be a builder, police said.

Upon entering, he went into various rooms, looking for leaks in the house.

After walking the suspect out, the victim discovered several items were missing, including a 150-year-old silver fruit bowl, a cardboard picture frame and a carriage clock.

Surrey Police is appealing for information.
