00:00 Hi, I'm Mark Dunford and I'm here with today's Sussex World Daily Bulletin on Tuesday March 26th.

00:08 Hastings Borough Council has announced their geotechnical survey will take place into the cause of the catastrophic landslip,

00:14 which left two families having to leave their homes.

00:17 The landslip in February saw gardens disappearing under tons of earth and footpaths,

00:21 and trees being lost after the steep sides of Old Roar Gill collapsed.

00:26 Since then, residents have been in dispute with the council over where the landslip actually started,

00:30 with residents saying it happened in the Gill itself, which is owned by the council,

00:35 making it their responsibility, and the council saying it believed it had started on private land above the Gill.

00:41 A new cafe is set to open its doors in Eastbourne.

00:44 Run by Mrs Laura Bruno, the company will offer a variety of hot drinks for residents to enjoy.

00:49 A spokesperson for the shop said,

00:51 "Our aim is to be able to provide a quick coffee service to the community who relies on bus services,

00:56 especially because we are planning to open very early in the morning.

01:00 These are difficult times for everyone and it's not easy at all to set up a business,

01:04 but the worst thing we could ever do is to lose hope and just accept that we cannot grow

01:08 because of the huge economic challenges that we have to survive."

01:13 A shop which has been in Horsham Town Centre for decades has announced it is to move to new premises.

01:19 Apache Menswear has traded from its base in the Bishoprick for the past 30 years and is now moving to Partridge Green.

01:26 The store says it plans to relocate to the Hoffwood Trading Estate at around the end of June.

01:33 Plans for the public roundworks along the Bognor Regis Esplanade have been revealed by Arran District Council.

01:41 The planned works will extend from Lennox Street to Clarence Road

01:44 and involve improved pedestrian and disabled access between the esplanade itself and the seafront,

01:49 including an additional crossing facility on the west side of the project,

01:54 a walkway between parked cars and the seawall,

01:57 a new lower 20mph speed limit and traffic calming measures to help keep pedestrians and visitors safe,

02:04 more plant life, increased seating and a litter bin.
