00:00 Hi, my name is Sam from Sussex World and today's top stories from around the county for Thursday,

00:06 May 30th. Two young children were taken to hospital after they were bitten by a dog at

00:10 a beach in Eastbourne. Sussex Police reported that two children were bitten in the early

00:14 hours Monday, May 27th near the Holywell Cafe in King Edward's Parade. Officers are now

00:19 opening for information and witnesses following the incident. East Sussex Fire and Rescue

00:25 has thanked the public for helping them raise over £7,000 for the firefighters' travel

00:29 charity, Recycling Clothing, in the last 12 months. Across the whole of the UK, the firefighters'

00:35 charity Clothes Recycling has generated just over £956,000, collecting over 4,700 tonnes

00:42 of clothing, diverting this away from landfill and fire stations. And finally, West Sussex

00:48 Fire and Rescue Service has appointed Matt Cook as its new Deputy Chief Fire Officer.

00:52 Matt has previously served as the Interim Deputy Chief Fire Officer at Oxfordshire Fire

00:56 and Rescue Service and will join the service later this year. His appointment comes following

01:00 the retirement of current Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mark Andrews in June, following more

01:05 than 30 years of service.
