00:00 Hello, my name's Laurence Smith and this is your Sussex World News Bulletin for Friday, July 28th, 2023.
00:06 Sussex Police said they are investigating a collision in Eastbourne on Wednesday evening, July 26th, in which a man died.
00:12 Police said emergency services were called to Upperton Road at around 7.50pm after a man in his 70s was struck by a car as he tried to use a zebra crossing.
00:21 Police said anyone who witnessed the collision or captured any relevant CCTV or dashcam footage can contact collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk, quoting Operation Broomfield.
00:32 Southern have confirmed that there will be no trains to or from Brighton Station on Saturday, August 5th due to serious safety concerns, a move which will severely impact people hoping to attend Brighton Pride.
00:44 The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen has notified train operators that there will be a ban on overtime between July 31st and August 5th.
00:53 Anyone planning to attend Pride on Saturday by rail will need to make alternative arrangements.
00:59 Drainage improvement works in Hayward's Heath are set to take place until Monday, September 4th.
01:04 West Sussex County Council said the works, which started on Monday, July 24th, aim to improve Lewis Road and Franklin Road.
01:10 The Council said that the existing highway drainage has exceeded its lifespan and is starting to fail, which means flooding happens outside of Princess Royal Hospital in the bus lay-by.
01:19 No roads will be closed during the works, but traffic management will be in place which will have an impact on access to the Princess Royal Hospital.
