00:00 Hi, I'm Mark Dunford and I'm here with today's Sussex World Daily Bulletin on Wednesday January 31st 2024.
00:09 A discount retailer has been asked to remove controversial signage from outside its store in Eastbourne.
00:14 On Monday, Eastbourne Borough Council's Planning Committee considered an application from home discount chain B&M
00:20 through which the retailer had been seeking retrospective permission to display a number of advertising signs
00:25 outside its store in the Crumbles Retail Park.
00:28 The application had proven unpopular with some Sovereign Harbour residents who had objected to the proposals in significant numbers.
00:35 Their objections mainly focused on the appearance of several illuminated signs at the rear and side of the building.
00:42 A St Leonard's Seafront venue has closed, it has been announced.
00:46 Azur, which incorporates Teddy's Cocktail, Bois and Grill, was a popular choice for wedding celebrations, birthday parties and anniversaries.
00:54 For the last year a question mark hung over the venue's future due to a long-running dispute between the company which managed it,
01:01 Azur Events Ltd and the leasehold owner, Sea Change Sussex.
01:05 According to Sea Change, Azur failed to keep up with rent payments under the lease.
01:10 West Sussex County Council is asking for residents' views on proposals for transport improvements along the A259 between Bognor Regis and Chichester.
01:19 The proposals being developed are part of the County Council's transport plan,
01:24 which includes making walking, cycling and public transport more attractive options for short trips.
01:30 The A259 is a key route used by many to access education, jobs and local services.
01:36 The proposed improvements are part of a wider strategy that also includes improving the performance of the A27
01:42 and supporting the transition to an increased use of electric vehicles.
01:46 An Italian chef who has worked in a Michelin-starred London restaurant has moved to Hastings
01:51 and is showcasing his food at a pop-up Italian fusion restaurant every Saturday.
01:56 Luca Mattia comes to Hastings with an enviable reputation having worked for the past 25 years in restaurants such as
02:03 Locanda Locatelli, Soho House and Sushi Samba.
02:07 He will be running the events at Petit Fe in George Street and they will include a 10-course Valentine's Day tasting menu.
