Staff at a council-run leisure centre have been made redundant after it was closed to make way for a multi-million pound makeover.

A £5m redevelopment is currently under way at Splashes in Rainham.

Whilst it remains closed, Medway Council officers have said keeping on some staff members would not be financially viable.

Councillors approved funding to give the centre in Bloors Lane a revamp during a full council meeting in July.

The redevelopment will see a new cafe installed at the centre, as well as enlargement of the changing facilities and upgrades to the swimming pool flume.

The newly revamped premises are due to re-open in 2022.

Organisers of the Brighton Marathon have postponed the date of their event for a second time following concerns about the rising number of coronavirus cases.

The race weekend had originally been scheduled for September but was postponed until October.

The dates were then changed to April 2021, but the organisers have taken the decision to postpone once again until September 2021.

A statement on the Brighton Marathon website said: "We were confident that social distancing, staggering of runner start times, hygiene and many more measures could be effectively implemented and with a hugely reduced risk for all.

"We are, however, very concerned by the rising coronavirus positive test rate and will not hold any events that could put our runners, volunteers, event team or wider community at any further risk.

"While we are extremely disappointed that we could not hold our revised event this year as planned, we fully accept that it was the right decision."

Mental health services for children and young people in Sussex would benefit from a “radical redesign”, an independent review has suggested.

It found young people were waiting too long to access emotional health and wellbeing services, leading to feelings of "frustration and helplessness".

Its findings have been endorsed by the Clinical Commissioning Groups and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SPFT), as well as Brighton and Hove City Council, East Sussex County Council and West Sussex County Council.

In a joint statement to BBC Radio Sussex, a spokesman for these organisations said: “Feedback we have received… has highlighted the current system is not working as well as it should. This is something that needs to rapidly change."

The spokesman said an independently-led review was commissioned and an "oversight board" had been set up to take the recommendations forward.

The review has suggested improving the accuracy and availability of data; creating an effective single point of access for those looking for help, and greater investment in places with the highest need.

It also drew attention to comparatively high levels of self-harm among children and young people in Sussex.

However, it did not consider the service to be unsafe, saying it was not clear whether the current system had contributed to that.
