      • "description": "A health expert has shared one common thing many people do that could be damaging your brain in the long run.",
      • "content": "A simple daily habit could be damaging your memory, but neuroscientist Dr Ramon Velazquez says a small behaviour change can help protect brain health. Millions of people engage in this habit every day without realizing its impact on cognitive function. Mindless eating , the act of consuming food while distracted, could be accelerating memory decline, especially for those over 40. “Most people have no idea that this common behaviour is affecting their memory,” explained Dr Velazquez, a Neuroscience Consultant and Research Advisor at Mind Lab Pro . “It’s something millions do multiple times daily without giving it a second thought.” The connection between mindless eating and memory decline is stronger than most people realize. When meals are consumed while watching TV, scrolling through social media, or working at a desk, the brain is put on autopilot. “When we eat without attention, we miss a prime opportunity to engage our brain,” Dr. Velazquez explains. “Digestion begins in the brain, not the stomach. The sight, smell, and anticipation of food trigger important cognitive processes that prepare the body to process nutrients efficiently.” As people age, the brain becomes more vulnerable to inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are exacerbated by poor eating habits. Studies show that distracted eating often leads to consuming more processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats, which are known to accelerate cognitive decline. “The brain accounts for just 2% of body weight but consumes about 20% of the body's energy resources,” said Dr Velazquez. “The quality of fuel you provide, as well as how you provide it, directly impacts cognitive function, especially memory formation and recall.” Dr Velazquez recommends making small but impactful adjustments to daily eating habits to protect memory and cognitive health. One of the simplest steps is creating a dedicated space for meals and snacks. Eating at a desk, in front of the television, or standing by the fridge encourages distracted eating and weakens the brain’s engagement in the process. Slowing down the pace of eating is another crucial step. Dr Velazquez suggests following the 20-minute rule, which means taking at least 20 minutes to finish a meal while consciously chewing and pausing between bites. Research indicates that it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to register fullness, so eating at a slower pace not only aids digestion but also strengthens cognitive pathways involved in memory. Another key practice is engaging the senses while eating. Observing food - its colours, smells, and textures - before taking a bite can enhance brain function. Identifying specific flavours and noticing how they change while chewing activates multiple brain regions, helping to reinforce neural networks linked to memory. By making simple but intentional changes, adults over 40 can enhance their memory and cognitive function, ensuring better brain health for years to come.",

The Trust’s wellbeing objectives, published as part of its duties under the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, reinforce its commitment to staff, patients and communities across Wales. The aim of the Act is to ensure that public bodies across Wales are working together to improve the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of Wales. Estelle Hitchon, the Trust’s Director of Partnerships and Engagement, said: “Our objectives represent our long-term commitment to delivering outstanding care while being a progressive, socially responsible employer. “We want to build a service that is fit for the future – one that supports our people, protects our environment, and meets the needs of the diverse communities we serve.” The new objectives focus on three priority areas: A socially responsible and inclusive employer, by: • supporting communities and the economy by providing long-term employment and volunteering opportunities for people living across Wales, at all points in their career and in a wide variety of roles. • continuing to develop a diverse and expertly trained workforce so that communities feel well supported and engaged in the organisation. • being an inclusive employer, reflecting the communities it serves across Wales. • valuing partnerships with Trade Unions and working in partnership to create an organisation that is welcoming, fair and where people can thrive. An innovative and sustainable organisation, by: • being at the forefront of clinical care by harnessing technology in a way that minimises environmental impact and improves patient safety and experience. • making the most of University Trust Status to work with commercial and academic partners to look for tomorrow’s solutions, today. • continuing to reduce its environmental impact, using more sustainable and carbon neutral solutions in its estate, fleet and working practices, to ensure it contributes to a greener, cleaner and healthier Wales. • managing its financial and physical assets well, so that it can provide viable services for the long term and so communities can rely on the organisation to be there when they need it. A pro-active, accessible and equitable care provider, by: • providing urgent and emergency care services that meet the needs of the people of Wales, wherever and whenever they are needed, improving outcomes and ensuring people can live healthier lives for longer. • continually improving services and performance, so the people of Wales have trust and confidence in its ability to be there when they need it most. • co-producing with communities and partners models of care that continue to meet the evolving needs of people in Wales and reflect what matters to them. • helping make Wales a nation of lifesavers by supporting health education and promoting bystander CPR skills, improving community resilience. • embracing its cultural role as Wales’ national ambulance service, championing its language and heritage while developing pioneering new ways of delivering care which position Wales as a leader on the national and international stage. The Wellbeing of Future Generations Act has applied to the Welsh Ambulance Service since 30 June 2024. Estelle added: “The aim of the Act is to ensure that public bodies work together to ensure Wales develops as a prosperous, culturally rich, economically vibrant, healthy and well educated country, where people can thrive both at work, and at home. “These objectives will guide the Trust’s decision-making, helping to shape policies and initiatives that prioritise sustainability, inclusivity and wellbeing. “We would like to thank all those who have helped to shape the objectives over the past few months; from the colleagues and Trade Union partners who developed them, to the stakeholders and members of the public who supported the wider engagement process.” To learn more about the Trust’s wellbeing objectives, visit: Our Wellbeing Objectives: Focused on the Future",

      • "content": "Katalin Szabo and James Moore were preparing to welcome their son, Dexter, into the world. However, in December 2020 at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, the pair were told the devastating news that he had died at 27 weeks gestation. Katalin had sought help from the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust-ran hospital twice in the space of five weeks during her pregnancy. Katalin Szabo visited Hinchingbrooke Hospital twice in the space of five weeks during her pregnancy. (Image: Supplied) On December 3, 2020, she was forced to seek further medical attention from the maternity unit after experiencing high blood pressure, sickness and dehydration. She had also began to experience severe pain. Katalin was told by staff at Hinchingbrooke Hospital that she had a stomach bug and at 1.50am, after checking Dexter's heartbeat, attempted to discharge her. However, Katalin was still experiencing pain and felt that something was not right, so refused to leave. An hour later, she was told that Dexter's heartbeat could no longer be found and that he had died. Within that hour no consultant was called to assess Katalin further, despite still being in pain whilst heavily medicated. It later emerged that Katalin was having a placental abruption. James, Dexter's father said: \"High blood pressure is a risk factor for placental abruption, as is significant pain, so we just want to know why continuous heartbeat monitoring was not used? \"This could have given a window for an emergency caesarean, which could have saved our baby's life.\" Keep up to date with the latest news across Huntingdonshire by signing up to our newsletter email alerts here James was refused entry to the hospital and was told to either wait in the car or go home while Katalin was being treated, as the incident occurred during the Covid-19 Pandemic. He phoned the maternity ward for an update, and was told that he could text Katalin as she was \"fine\". The next call he received was from Katalin, telling him that Dexter had died. After Dexter's death, the Huntingdon-based couple made a complaint against the hospital over the care they were given the night that Dexter died. \"We just felt absolutely fobbed off from start to finish, and the care given throughout the pregnancy was below acceptable standards. \"Kat was told on one hospital visit \"not to be dramatic\", and that \"you're pregnant, you can still get poorly\", said James. The pair also raised concerns about errors in hospital documentation, claiming that the wrong time was recorded for Dexter's delivery and the misspelling of his middle name when he was registered. The Trust paid out £20,000 to Katalin and James, which they have since said was a \"slap in the face\". \"The slap in the face is that they valued Dexter's life at a total of £20,000. We don't matter to them.\" Dr Callum Gardner, Chief Medical Officer, for North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, said: \"We can confirm the settlement of claim by Ms Szabo concerning her care and the stillbirth of Dexter, and we are deeply sorry for Dexter's death and the loss and distress this has caused the family.\" The couple have since had another son who was born at a different hospital. They said: \"We will never trust that hospital again, and our message to all pregnant women and partners is if you're not 100 per cent satisfied with the care you're receiving, ask to speak to the sister in charge, or the matron, or jump in the car and drive to another hospital for a second opinion.\" Have you got a story you want to share with us?

      • "content": "Counsellors earning almost £45,000 a year are set to walk-out because they believe their charity employer should be paying them thousands of pounds more. A team of 20 counsellors employed by Norfolk and Waveney Mind to deliver NHS therapy courses have voted in favour of strike action over a bizarre pay row with the charity. But union bosses say they are being \"taken advantage of\" by the charity because they believe they should be paid on a higher pay grade. The roles are paid at band 6 of NHS salary scales, which range between £37,338 and £44,962, depending on their experience. But the Unison union says the group ought to be paid the next level up - between £46,148 and £52,809 - and describe the current salaries as \"trainee rates\". Mind, however, says an external audit of the pay grades advised the charity that they were correct. The team of 20 is employed to deliver NHS Talking Therapies, which Norfolk and Waveney Mind is commissioned to deliver by the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. Crunch talks have been held between the charity and union over the dispute, but after a resolution was not reached the counsellors have voted in favour of industrial action. Of the team, just one did not back the proposed strike. Cameron Matthews, Unison's regional organiser in the east, said: \"Counsellors want to help their patients, but they deserve to be paid and rewarded properly. \"Publicly, Mind campaigns for action to tackle the crisis in mental health. \"But as an employer, it is undermining the fight and paying the very people on the front line thousands less than they are due.\" A Norfolk and Waveney Mind spokesman said: \"We remain committed to working collaboratively with all parties involved in this dispute to find a productive and appropriate solution that resolves counsellors' concerns while delivering the best possible service to the community.\"",

      • "content": "Los reguladores de la Unión Europea han bloqueado un fármaco contra el Alzhéimer , el cual ya ha sido aprobado en Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido, por sus posibles efectos secundarios : según la Agencia Europea del Medicamento (EMA), estos podrían llegar a ser mortales. El donanemab es un medicamento comercializado por Lilly bajo el nombre de Kisunla. Se trata de un anticuerpo que, según los estudios realizados durante sus fases de aprobación, ralentiza la progresión de la enfermedad neurodegenerativa en los estadios iniciales de la enfermedad. El producto se administra vía intravenosa una vez al mes. De no haberse suspendido, el donanemab habría sido el segundo medicamento contra el Alzhéimer autorizado por la EMA en dos décadas. Pero el comité de expertos del organismo ha confirmado que los principios activos del medicamento podrían suponer riesgos mortales para algunos de sus potenciales pacientes: \"Los beneficios de Kisunla no eran lo suficientemente importantes como para compensar sus riesgos\", ha declarado la agencia en un comunicado. Sus expertos citan anomalías vinculadas al amiloide, un efecto secundario que puede causar inflamación y hemorragias cerebrales. El Alzhéimer es la forma más común de demencia y afecta a unos siete millones de personas en Europa, según el Consejo Europeo del Cerebro. Kisunla se desarrolló para pacientes con acumulación de placas beta amiloides en el cerebro, algo habitual durante el desarrollo de esta enfermedad. El fármaco se adhiere a la beta amiloide, reduce la acumulación de placas y retrasa la progresión de la enfermedad. En un ensayo clínico de una fase tardía , Kisunla ralentizó el desarrollo de los síntomas de demencia hasta en un 35% tras 18 meses. Pero tres personas murieron , dos de ellas portadoras de un determinado tipo de gen que aumenta el riesgo de padecer Alzhéimer. Lilly ha solicitado que Kisunla se ofrezca solo a pacientes que no tengan dicho gen, pero la EMA ha rechazado su comercialización por completo. Angela Bradshaw, directora de investigación de Alzheimer Europe, ha afirmado que, si bien la comunidad de pacientes con demencia era entusiasta con respecto a este nuevo medicamento, este no es un fármaco milagroso ni una cura: \"Funcionan mucho mejor cuanto antes se administren\", explica a 'Euronews Health', \"pero también plantean algunos problemas de seguridad\". Alzheimer Europe, que agrupa a colectivos de Alzhéimer de tres docenas de países, señala que la seguridad de los pacientes es importante, pero que una distribución controlada del medicamento podría haber permitido a aquellos europeos con Alzhéimer en fase inicial, pero sin riesgo de sufrir los efectos secundarios , acceder al nuevo tratamiento. El donanemab, en manos de la Comisión Europea El organismo ejecutivo de la UE tiene 67 días para adoptar las recomendaciones de la EMA. Esa será la decisión oficial y jurídicamente vinculante. El año pasado, la EMA revocó su rechazo inicial de Leqembi, otro medicamento contra el Alzhéimer que también conlleva riesgos. Tras votar inicialmente en contra de Leqembi para un amplio conjunto de pacientes, el organismo recomendó en noviembre que el fármaco se ofreciera a las personas que solo tuvieran una copia del gen o ninguna. Lilly ha dicho que pedirá a la EMA reconsiderar su decisión sobre Kisunla. \"Esperamos que a través del proceso de reexamen podamos continuar nuestras conversaciones con la agencia para llevar donanemab a los millones de personas de toda Europa que padecen esta enfermedad implacable y mortal\", ha declarado en un comunicado Ilya Yuffa, vicepresidente ejecutivo y presidente de Lilly International. El fármaco ya ha sido aprobado en EE.UU., Japón, China y el Reino Unido. Pero actualmente no se ofrece a los pacientes británicos a través del Servicio Nacional de Salud (NHS) después de que su organismo de control de precios dijera que el medicamento no era lo suficientemente rentable. Bradshaw señala que el elevado coste de medicamentos como Kisunla y Leqembi podría plantear problemas a los pacientes, dado que se prevé que cuesten unos 25.000 euros al año y requieren suministros periódicos, escáneres cerebrales, pruebas genéticas y un seguimiento de los efectos secundarios. \"Aunque el fármaco en sí es caro, todo lo que lo rodea también es increíblemente caro, porque no son medicamentos fáciles de tomar\", afirma Bradshaw.",

      • "content": "A doctor has shared the four common signs you might have a tooth cavity and should go to the dentist. Doctor Lavina Kumar, who is known as @drlavinakumar on social media, uses TikTok to inform and educate people about their oral hygiene. As part of this, she has shared the easy-to-miss signs you might have a cavity and need to book a visit with your dentist as soon as possible. In her video, she said: \"If your tooth feels a little sensitive when you're having a cold drink, you could have a cavity. If your tooth hurts, you could have a cavity. \"If you have to floss after every time you eat because food gets stuck between your teeth, you could have a cavity. If you feel like there's a hole in your tooth, you could have a cavity.\" The NHS says experiencing toothache, a sharp pain in your tooth when eating or drinking hot, cold or sweet things, and noticing white, brown or black spots on your tooth could all be signs of tooth decay. Their website reads: \"Treatment for tooth decay depends on how severe it is. A dentist can prescribe fluoride treatments like mouthwash or varnish to reverse early tooth decay. \"You'll probably need a filling if you have a hole (cavity) in your tooth. If tooth decay has reached the soft tissue (pulp) in the middle of your tooth, you may need root canal treatment. Sometimes the affected tooth may need to be removed (extraction).\" To prevent tooth decay, you should brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. On top of this, you should clean in between your teeth every day with floss or interdental brushes. Where possible, you should avoid sugar-free medicines and have regular dental check-ups.\" The statement adds: \"Tooth decay happens when bacteria create a sticky layer called plaque over your teeth. This damages the surface of your teeth over time. \"Tooth decay is common in children, so it's important to make sure they're looking after their teeth and gums from an early age.\"",

      • "description": "The legal battle is the latest chapter in an increasingly bitter row between associates and influential sections of the medical community",
      • "content": "Hundreds of physician associates (PAs) are to take legal action against GP surgeries across the country claiming they have been hounded out of their jobs due to a “national bullying campaign” led by the British Medical Association (BMA) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).The row centres around GP surgeries following “scope and practice” guidelines set out by the two groups, which United Medical Professionals Associates (UMAPs), the trade union representing PAs, alleges has led to them being discriminated against.The law firm representing the physician associates claimed that “more than 100” have lost their jobs or been treated unfairly and that a total of nearly 300 have been “potentially affected”, with 80 per cent of them women. if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"inread-hb-ros-inews\"}); }As compensation could possibly range from £50,000 to £100,000 per claimant, the total combined damages could be as high as £30m, a figure that could rise if employers continue with the “hasty and unconsidered implementation” of the RCGP and BMA guidance, the PAs’ legal team said.The legal battle is the latest chapter in an increasingly bitter row between associates and influential sections of the medical community. Their role has come under particular scrutiny in recent years following two recent tragedies involving patients in their care. Emily Chesterton, died aged 30 after two appointments with a PA she believed was a GP. Pamela Marking went to A&E at East Surrey Hospital in February 2024 after vomiting blood and having tenderness in her side. She was told by a PA she had a nose bleed and was sent home, but the 77-year-old actually had a hernia and died four days later.if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"mpu_mobile_l1\"}); }if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"mpu_tablet_l1\"}); }What are physician associates?Physician associates (PAs) were created to free up a doctor’s time by doing medical tasks that do not require full medical training, such as basic examinations, offering diagnoses and delivering some treatments. A handful of PAs have specialised in anaesthesia.The role was established in 2003 and they are postgraduates who have taken a two-year course to qualify.The NHS calls them “medically trained, generalist healthcare professionals, who work alongside doctors and provide medical care as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team”.PAs are overseen by a dedicated medical supervisor but they can work autonomously with appropriate support in GP surgeries and hospitals.Numbers of PAs are set to increase from more than 4,000 currently to 10,000 and 2,000 anaesthesia associates (AAs) by 2036/37.Doctors, PA and AAs are overseen by the General Medical Council. Doctors have claimed having the GMC oversee all three “blurs the lines” of their roles with fears PAs have replaced doctors when treating patients. Questions have been raised over their training which is in contrast to the five years it takes doctors to qualify and the additional ten years it takes to specialise. Lawyers confirmed they issued the first “indirect discrimination” claims last week as part of a “group action claim”. All claims issued to date are against at least two respondents – the relevant GP practice and the RCGP together. In some instances lawyers have also named the BMA as a third respondent. All parties are required to respond to the claims.The group claim was initiated and backed by UMAPs, which announced its formation as a trade union in December.UMAPs was entered into the list of trade union’s by the government’s certification officer and has published its own “scope of practice” guidelines for PAs in primary and secondary care. It has called for more PAs affected by the changes to come forward and join the collective action.if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"mpu_mobile_l2\"}); }if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"mpu_tablet_l2\"}); }Wes Streeting said there are concerns over PAs and he will wait to see the results of an upcoming review (Photo: Getty Europe)Sneha Nainwal, partner at law firm Shakespeare Martineau, who is leading the group action claim on behalf of UMAPs, said: “There are very tight limitation periods for issuing a claim in the employment tribunal – so any Physician Associate who has been dismissed or adversely affected by the hasty implementation of the RCGP/BMA guidance should consider their options without delay.“The fact that over 80 per cent of those affected by job losses are women is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about fairness and equality in the workplace. In a modern democratic society that seeks to uphold equity and non-discrimination, any policy or guidance that appears disproportionately to impact one gender must be subject to proper scrutiny. We’ve now issued our first claims, with several more set to be filed shortly.”Stephen Nash, a physician associate and UMAP chief executive, told The i Paper the loss of hundreds of PAs at GP surgeries across the country will damage patient care. #color-context-related-article-3597805 {--inews-color-primary: #E33A11;--inews-color-secondary: #F7F3EF;--inews-color-tertiary: #E33A11;} Read Next square SOLAR POWER .inews__post__label__explained{background-color: #0a0a0a;color: #ffffff;}ExplainedWhat £45k in energy savings from solar panels could buy a hospitalRead MoreHe said: “That is unacceptable to me... Some practices are now following our guidance on PAs, which is good, but there are a hardcore of doctors who are continuing to inflict harm because they can – and all of them seem to have relations with the BMA. “What you’re seeing is a very vocal, very hardcore elitist group punching down on PAs and making it almost socially untenable within the workforce to be able to support these professionals.”Nash also believes medics have weaponised “a minority of incidents causing people to clash” while some PAs have reported workplace bullying. The BMA said it was not aware of any legal claims being brought against the union by PAs, nor of the BMA being named as an interested party in any. However, Shakespeare Martineau said there is a time lag between the claim being issued and it being served by the tribunal.if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"mpu_mobile_l3\"}); }if(window.adverts) { window.adverts.addToArray({\"pos\": \"mpu_tablet_l3\"}); }The RCGP said it would be inappropriate to comment on a legal issue. A spokesperson said: “However, recognising there are around 2,000 PAs already working in general practice we developed guidance on induction and preceptorship, supervision, and scope of practice, aiming to support GP practices and current employers of PAs in prioritising patient safety.“This guidance is advisory and we have always been clear that it is for employers to decide whether to follow our guidance and that it is their responsibility to ensure the appropriate treatment and handling of existing PA contracts. The RCGP is strongly committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and this is key to our values as an organisation.”A government-commissioned independent review into PAs is expected to publish its findings in the coming weeks.Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting told The i Paper there are “legitimate concerns about how physician associates are used – transparency for patients, scope of practice, and the substituting of doctors” and that those concerns have been “ignored for too long”He said: “We need to establish the facts which is why I’ve asked Professor Gillian Leng to carry out an independent review into the roles.”",

      • "content": "To mark the 145th anniversary of The Argus, we are looking back at some of the biggest stories we have covered. One man who has often featured in these pages is Brighton's own Norman Cook—otherwise known as Fatboy Slim—who has held a number of legendary concerts in the city. People had the time of their lives. The first of these huge events was Big Beach Boutique, a free concert held on the beach in 2001. Norman Cook told The Argus hours before the show that he was nervous about crowd safety, but the event passed by largely without any issues, even though the 60,000 people in attendance was much larger than anticipated. Cook told us before the gig: \"The thing is, I don't know how many people are going to turn up. \"It could be 20,000, or it could be more than 40,000 if the weather is good. \"I don't want anyone falling in the sea and drowning or getting hurt so I want to give this message to everyone—have a good time, drink as much as you like, but try not to hurt anyone or get hurt. \"If everyone is cool, things will be fine.\" Big Beach Boutique II was one of the biggest events ever held in Sussex Big Beach Boutique II, which took place on July 13, 2002, was THE big one. The Argus wrote at the time: \"DJ Fatboy Slim's party on the beach attracted more than a quarter of a million people, four times more than expected, to the seafront. \"Tens of thousands crammed between Brighton's two piers, jamming roads, bringing the city's public transport system to meltdown and overwhelming emergency services. \"As the city woke up to a collective hangover on Sunday, and an army of cleaners began clearing more than 100 tonnes of rubbish, a sober post-mortem was being carried out by police and council bosses who accepted the concert had spiralled out of control. \"Cook, who spent £100,000 of his own money to stage the concert, has offered to pay even more to ensure the clean-up is completed by lunchtime today.\" The scale of the event was beyond what was expected as it was predicted that 60,000 fans would turn up. The front page of The Argus on July 15, 2002, following Big Beach Boutique II But a constant stream of revellers flowed into the city from early Saturday morning from all over Britain, lured to the coast by glorious sunshine. By noon, ten-mile tailbacks stretched up the A23 towards London. By 3pm police realised they had a major incident on their hands. Extra officers were drafted in from all over the county to cope with the gathering crowds. When Fatboy Slim took to the stage at 9pm, an unbroken sea of faces stretched from the West Pier to the Palace Pier. The route from Brighton station to the seafront was in human gridlock. A view of the huge crowds from above According to contemporary reports in The Argus, \"Some 25,000 people spent the evening stuck on the mile-long route to the beach.\" Almost 100 people were treated for crush injuries. One 40-year-old man died of a heart attack, and Australian nurse Karen Manders, 26, was fatally injured when she fell 25ft from the Kings Road promenade to the seafront below. \"Scores of people had to be plucked from the sea,\" The Argus wrote. \"Casualties were ferried out of the crowd by lifeboat, the only escape route. \"The music was switched off for several minutes as security guards coaxed down one man dangling dangerously from the top of a street lamp. \"Norman played a restrained 90-minute set which ended with a blizzard of fake snow swirling down on the crowd. \"Then the chaos really began.\" Fatboy Slim on stage during Big Beach Boutique II (Image: Yui Mok) Buses and trains were unable to cope, as Brighton station was closed intermittently as crowds on the platform were squeezed on to the tracks. Hundreds of people still spent the night stranded in the city, many sleeping on the beach. Despite the enormous scale of the event, police made only six arrests and said the clubbers were \"generally in good spirits\". And the overwhelming memory of the people who were there is that it was an amazing event that they will always remember. But the authorities realised they couldn't allow a repeat run of Big Beach Boutique II, so the event stayed away from Brighton for more than four years. When it returned on New Year's Day 2007, it had been given a new place in the calendar and a new location—Madeira Drive. Ticketing was introduced to control crowd numbers, with 20,000 paying ticketholders from the Brighton area. The scene was very different from previous big events, with revellers having to contend with freezing sleet and torrential rain. Weather-battered revellers at Big Beach Boutique 3 (Image: The Argus) The weather played havoc with the event's electrics, and Norman himself suffered electric shocks from the sodden equipment. Despite the weather, the event was hailed a success and, probably more importantly, a safe one at that. Norman's reward was being told that he didn't have to host the next one in the winter. Big Beach Boutique 4 returned a year later with another new slot in the calendar—September 27. More than 20,000 mainly Brighton residents gathered in Madeira Drive. Big Beach Boutique 4 on Madeira Drive Norman, speaking after the event, said: \"It was magical. \"Everyone had their hands in the air, all the way down Madeira Drive as far as I could see. \"It doesn’t get much better than that.\" Big Beach ‘Bootique’ 5 took place over two nights in 2012 when Cook became the first artist to headline the new Amex Stadium in Falmer. Then, in July 2022, the 20th anniversary of Big Beach Boutique II, Cook headlined On the Beach festival in Brighton. Fatboy Slim noses through the local paper before Big Beach Boutique 4 (Image: Kate Howell) A letter to The Argus by reader Victoria Tripp, published on November 8, 2006, sums up how many feel about Fatboy Slim. She wrote: \"I'm sure I speak for many Brightonians when I say thank you to Norman Cook. \"Back in 2001, when Fatboy Slim held his first Big Beach Boutique, a moment of pride and passion for music was shared, amplified by being in our beloved home town. \"Then along came the summer of 2002 and our boy held the concert of all concerts. \"It took the UK by storm and we partied, partied and partied some more. \"Good press and bad press followed but we all knew we could never again experience anything like that. \"It was all down to him. \"He stood by his word and so did we—it was the best night of our lives. \"So I'm writing to thank him.\"",

      • "content": "New study maps the inflammatory potential of China's iconic regional dishes—revealing that fiery Sichuan meals may actually soothe inflammation while sweeter southern styles stir it up. Study: Nutrition and dietary inflammatory indices of the eight major cuisines of China . Image Credit: JJJW / Shutterstock In a recent study published in the journal BMC Nutrition , researchers assessed ingredients, dietary inflammatory index (DII), and food composition of major Chinese cuisines. Chinese cuisine is visually appealing and delectable. Various factors, including local climate, existing biota, cultural context, agricultural resources, and advancements in trade, technology, and exploration, have contributed to the evolution of these cuisines. There are eight major Chinese cuisines: Anhui, Hunan, Cantonese, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Shandong. Almost all diseases in humans are linked to lifestyle and diet. While little is known about the health effects of various cuisines, the incidence and prevalence of several lifestyle diseases differ significantly across regions. Therefore, information on food ingredients, nutritional and energy content, and health or disease-related indicators is required for a comprehensive understanding of cuisines. About the study Coastal vs. Inland Diets: Fujian and Zhejiang’s coastal locations correlated with higher aquatic food usage, boosting omega-3 fatty acids absent in landlocked cuisines like Anhui. In the present study, researchers analyzed the DII, primary nutrients, and energy content of the eight major Chinese cuisines. They collected information about the ingredients, including their weight, name, and loss of raw elements, for each ingredient used. Ingredients were stratified into 26 food groups. The dosage and usage rate of food groups were estimated. The China Food Composition Tables (CFCTs) were used to derive the nutrient and energy content of each dish. Dishes were classified into anti-inflammatory (DII < 0), neutral (DII = 0), and pro-inflammatory (DII > 0) categories. Because CFCTs lacked information on some foods, the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan and published literature were used as supplementary resources. Nutrient and energy contents were estimated and separately normalized for weight (standard 100 g serving per dish) and energy (energy-equivalent serving of 2056 kcal per dish). DII was calculated based on the daily mean food intake. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to examine differences among cuisines. A systematic cluster analysis based on macronutrients was conducted to differentiate between distinct clusters or groups of dishes. Findings Hidden Sugars: Jiangsu and Zhejiang’s penchant for sweetened dishes—highlighted by free sugar levels—might explain their higher carbohydrate content and moderate DII scores. Overall, 980 dishes representing the eight Chinese cuisines were included for analysis. The most prevalent food groups were similar across cuisines; these included 1) condiments, 2) scallion, ginger, and garlic, 3) poultry, 4) vegetable oils, 5) cooking alcohol, 6) starchy foods, 7) aquatic foods, 8) eggs, 9) animal fat, 10) livestock meat, and 11) non-leafy vegetables. Condiments were the most popular across all cuisines. Notably, most cuisines used much more animal fats than vegetable fats. Jiangsu cuisine ranked the highest in the usage of free sugars, followed by Zhejiang cuisine. Sichuan cuisine had the highest fat and energy content per standard 100 g serving of a dish; Fujian cuisine had the lowest. Further, dishes from Sichuan cuisine had minimal carbohydrate content, while those from Zhejiang cuisine had peak levels. In addition, Sichuan cuisine had significantly higher levels of dietary fiber, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin E, and β-carotene. Shandong cuisine had the lowest levels of niacin, β-carotene, and vitamins B6 and C. Cholesterol and protein levels were significantly different across cuisines. For each energy-equivalent serving of a dish, Sichuan cuisine had the highest levels of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and total fat, and the lowest levels of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins B12 and D, niacin, cholesterol, and folic acid. Spice-Driven Nutrition: Sichuan’s frequent use of chili peppers, rich in capsaicin and linked to anti-inflammatory effects, may contribute to its unexpectedly low DII despite high fat content. By contrast, Fujian cuisine had the highest levels of vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12, carbohydrates, and riboflavin, and the lowest levels of fat. Anhui cuisine had the lowest levels of vitamin E and dietary fiber, but the highest levels of protein, vitamin A, niacin, and thiamin. There were significant differences in the DII across cuisines. Sichuan cuisine had the lowest DII, while Anhui cuisine had the highest DII. No dish had a DII of 0. The cluster analysis revealed two distinct clusters for each energy-equivalent serving: high carbohydrate and high fat-protein. Sichuan cuisine had the highest percentage of high-fat-protein content, whereas Anhui cuisine had the lowest. Interestingly, cuisines with stronger flavors, like Sichuan, may offer more anti-inflammatory benefits than lighter-tasting styles, challenging conventional dietary assumptions. Contrary to expectations, the high-fat profile of Sichuan cuisine was not associated with higher DII scores, likely due to its high dietary fiber content. Conclusions In summary, major Chinese cuisines exhibited distinct ingredient choices and significantly different energy and nutrient compositions. Sichuan cuisine had greater levels of fat, energy, β-carotene, and dietary fiber, while Fujian and Zhejiang cuisines were abundant in protein and carbohydrates. Anhui cuisine had the highest proportion of pro-inflammatory dishes, followed by Fujian cuisine, while Sichuan cuisine had the lowest. Sichuan cuisine also had the highest percentage of high-fat-protein dishes, contrary to common assumptions. The authors caution that applying the DII to Chinese diets involves limitations due to missing data on certain food components and differences in culinary traditions. They also note that the complexity of dishes and individual culinary interpretation mean that generalizations about cuisines should be made cautiously. Zhao W, Jia Z, Shi H.

      • "content": "A countryside charity has called for additional funding for city trees. Brighton and Hove city council held a public meeting to address concerns about works being carried out in Brighton woodlands. In the meeting the council accepted that more should have been done to communicate with the public about the works and said that mistakes had been made. They agreed to work more closely with residents in the future. Following the meeting, director of CPRE Sussex, Paul Steedman has written to Brighton and Hove council to call for funding to support tree planting projects. The charity has asked the council to ringfence £250,000 of the £3.6 million available from the community infrastructure levy (CIL) for helping to restore the city’s trees. Mr Steedman said: “There is huge public upset and anger about the very significant losses of trees on streets, in parks and in woodlands. “These losses are being exacerbated by ash dieback and elm disease. “At Monday’s meeting, there was acknowledgement from all sides that the council's public communications around felling programmes, necessary as some of them may be, has fallen well short of what was needed. “There is also a very strong desire to know how we go forward to turn the situation around. Yet an apparent lack of funds is one of the major blockers to woodland restoration and planting new trees. \"The very significant sums of money accrued and expected from CIL can help to answer that question.” CPRE Sussex is a volunteer led project and works with Brighton and Hove city council to plant new trees across the city. The charity said the money suggested would be an additional sum and would not be diverting money from recommended seafront works, community funds, or the neighbourhood ward top-up. Mr Steedman added: “Public trees must not be seen as 'nice to have' bonuses. “They are critical infrastructure for the city, delivering on the council’s goals around physical and mental health, air quality, climate change, flood prevention, biodiversity and more.”",

      • "content": "A caravan site is now allowed to operate all year round. The Southdown Way Caravan and Camping Site, near Hassocks, had a lawful development certificate awarded by the South Downs National Park planning authority. Planning permission had been granted to use the land for caravans back in 2007 but only on the condition that they would not be stationed for more than 28 days a year. The recent application sought to obtain permission for the continuous use of the caravan and camping site, based on the fact that the campsite had been operating year round - in breach of planning permission - for more than a decade. If it can be proven that a breach of planning permission has been going on unchallenged for ten years or more, it can no longer be objected to or prosecuted. READ NEXT: Seafront restaurant allowed to keep beach huts permanently The application was supported by two statutory declarations from Gloria Hill, owner of Southdown Way Caravan and Camping Park, and Gloria Wright, trustee and company secretary. Ms Hill's declaration detailed her personal testimony that the large field has been used year-round for leisure camping and caravanning since March 2014. Ms Wright, who has been a trustee of the charity for 39 years, provided her knowledge of the site dating back to 2006, when it was converted from a farm to a camping and caravan park by Sussex Lantern. Annual booking records further supported these claims, showing that every year bookings exceeded the permitted 28 days per year. The council's planning report acknowledged the breach of the permitted development right, which allows for a caravan usage 28 days a year, had been going on for more than ten years. Evidence submitted in support of the application included booking lists which showed the number of days the site was in use for each year between 2014-2024. READ NEXT: Plans to convert town centre building into flats The report added: \"Consideration has been given as to whether this breach has been 'concealed'. \"However, while the owner has not reported the camping use of the land to the authority for planning purposes, there have been no overt attempts to actively hide the development from the authority either. \"In light of the evidence provided and no evidence to contradict the applicant's assertions, on the balance of probabilities the authority is satisfied that the camping and caravan site has been in use for a period in excess of ten years and a certificate of existing lawful use can be issued.\"",

      • "content": "Proposals for a large industrial storage facility in a rural area have been rejected. Plans for a storage compound of 53 shipping containers at The Old Coal Yard, Newpound, Wisborough Green, were turned down by Chichester District Council on March 26. The containers were intended to be used by HGH Groundworks, a company currently based in Washington, Horsham District, which employs 180 staff. The planning application suggested that the new site would not change the scale of the existing site, which has been used for storing building and fencing materials and as a base for three lorries for the past 20 years. The company argued that the proposed changes would enhance the facility's functionality and amenities without affecting the surrounding landscape. However, the council's planning report highlighted several issues with the proposal, noting concerns about the impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The current entrance to the site (Image: Google) The report stated: \"The proposed siting of 53 shipping containers represents a significant intensification of the site in comparison to the less formal, open arrangement at present. \"As the proposal is to site these containers permanently, there would be a significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. \"The impact on the character of the area and the landscape harms identified would attract significant negative weight against the proposal.\" READ NEXT: Sports facility that was a risk to squatters is being demolished The planning report also raised concerns about the proposed 24-hour operation of the site. The council's Environmental Health Department expressed concerns about the potential impact on nearby residents due to noise. The report stated: \"It is considered it is not possible to adequately mitigate against people banging and clattering around storage containers in the middle of the night, to achieve adequate noise levels in such a quiet location.\" Wisborough Green Parish Council also objected to the proposal. The council raised concerns about the proposed access, stating that it was insufficient to allow two vehicles to pass and exit the road adequately. The proposed facility would have included 53 shipping containers (Image: Pullen Architecture) It also noted that space within the site for vehicle movement appeared restricted, which could lead to congestion at the entrance. The parish council also expressed concerns about noise and light pollution. READ NEXT: Former Post Office and university building to be turned into 41 flats The council added that the proposal did not provide a robust justification for the development's need for a countryside location or demonstrate that it met an essential, small-scale, and local need. The council's planning report concluded that the proposed development could likely be accommodated within a settlement boundary, reducing the impact on the countryside. The application can be viewed using the reference 24/01340/FUL.",

      • "content": "A new chicken restaurant can stay open for eat-in customers until 1am and for deliveries until 2am after the owner successfully made his case to councillors. Pepe’s Piri Piri franchisee Faisal Jamil, 27, faced objections when he applied to stay open until 2am at the new restaurant on the ground floor of Ravilious House, in Lewes Road, Brighton. Sussex Police and Brighton and Hove City Council raised concerns about another late-night venue starting up in a high-crime area that was already “saturated” with similar businesses. Police licensing officer Claire Abdelkader said 629 crimes were recorded within a half-mile radius of the shop over the past year. Of those, a third were violent crimes. At a council licensing panel hearing on Tuesday, March 18, Mr Jamil, a director of Jamil Enterprises Limited, said five staff were already Security Industry Authority (SIA) trained. Mr Jamil said he planned to take the qualification himself to ensure the business was secure from 11pm. Pepe’s representative, Gulraiz Siddique, 53, director of Architecture and Interior Design Limited, told the hearing that the ten-year-old business had 206 outlets nationally and 15 internationally, with 132 open late, up to 4am. The licensing panel was made up of three Labour councillors – Julie Cattell, John Hewitt and Alison Thomson. After they granted the licence, a decision letter from the council to the applicant said: “Consideration was given to earlier closing hours by the panel for collection and dining in view of the police concerns and crime statistics. “However, on balance, the panel considers permitting the premises to remain open to 1am for eating in and collection will not undermine the licensing objectives. “The panel were impressed by the professional approach of the applicant. The premises would be part of a larger established franchise with robust practices and procedures including training which would be implemented for staff at these premises.” The venue will not serve alcohol. And restrictions on the licence require the business to use its own delivery drivers and to close and lock its doors to walk-in customers at 1am. The new business is due to open in the middle of next month.",

The plans to transform the two-storey house at 27 Argyle Road, Bognor, have been submitted to Arun District Council. The mid-terraced, five-bedroom house is reportedly in \"a state of dereliction,\" necessitating a \"back to brick\" refurbishment approach. The property is within a five-minute walk of Bognor railway station. The proposed changes focus on internal reconfiguration to create two more bedrooms while keeping a \"suitable level\" of communal space. The ground floor's existing lounge and dining room are set to be converted into bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. The rear of the property will be transformed into a large, open-plan kitchen and dining area, with a snug for communal use, thanks to a single-storey rear extension. An additional shower and toilet will also be provided for use in case of maintenance or damage issues. On the first floor, three existing bedrooms will be retained and equipped with ensuite bathrooms. One bedroom is considered spacious enough for a couple, if needed.

The second floor will house two further bedrooms, similar in layout to the existing ones. Externally, solar panels are proposed to be installed on the roof to provide renewable energy to the house. The existing garage will be demolished and replaced with a secure, weatherproof bicycle store, capable of accommodating bicycles for all occupants, along with two electric bike charging points. General landscaping will also include the installation of a seating area and raised planters.

The proposed HMO is pitched as suitable for working professionals and is not expected to contribute to the alleged antisocial behaviours linked with shared accommodation. The application highlights the role of HMOs in contributing towards a \"mixed and balanced\" community, providing homes for young professionals who cannot yet afford to purchase property. The plans can be viewed using the reference BR/249/24/PL.",

The 2024 figures highlight the difference between median average house prices and median average earnings for full-time employees. In the most affordable area, Blaenau Gwent, Wales, median house prices were 3.75 times the earnings. Kensington and Chelsea in London, however, recorded the least affordable figures, with house prices 27.09 times the average earnings. The statistics show that only 9 per cent of local authorities had homes bought for less than five times workers' earnings on average. This is the highest proportion since 2015 but significantly lower than the 88 per cent recorded in 1997.

The ratios for all the local authorities in Sussex can be seen on the graph below. An average house in England, costing £290,000, was 7.7 times the median earnings of a full-time employee in 2024. The ONS said: \"Affordability in England and Wales in 2024 has returned to its pre-pandemic levels after a sharp increase between 2020 and 2021. \"Median house sales prices have increased by 1% since 2021, while average earnings have increased by 20%.\" READ NEXT: Plans to convert seafront hotel into student accommodation approved It also reveal that housing affordability improved in 289 of the 318 local authorities in England and Wales (91 per cent) and worsened in 28 (9 per cent) since 2023.

According to the ONS, only 9% of local authorities had a housing ratio of less than five, which is what the ONS would consider 'affordable'.",

Up to 20,000 people are expected to take part across three events between April 4 and 6 as the marathon celebrates its landmark 15th year. Key timings The weekend begins on Friday, April 4 with the inaugural community shake out run at 16.00, which is supported by Friday Night Lights. This marks the first official shakeout run organised by the Brighton Marathon Weekend. This sold-out event will take place along the seafront and bring community groups together to run with music and lights. On Saturday April 5, the Brighton Miles, a series of free one-mile waves, takes place in Preston Park following the regular Preston Park parkrun, with the first wave, a junior parkrun wave, setting off at 10.15 and the final wave starting at 13.45. The sold-out event is designed for people of all ages and abilities. The marathon route (Image: Brighton Marathon) Sunday, April 6 will see the return of the 10K, newly named the Brighton and Hove 10K and the Brighton Marathon.

A map of road closures for Brighton Marathon (Image: Brighton Marathon) On April 6, road closures will be in place across the city from as early as 06.00 in some areas. Local transport may also be affected by the road closures and people have been advised to check bus and rail journeys before setting out. Both Preston Park and London Road train stations will be closed until 11.00 on April 6 but there will be an increased service of trains from London to Brighton to accommodate the expected uplift in passenger numbers.

Plans have been submitted to Mid Sussex District Council to convert the disused Castle Inn in Hickstead, near Burgess Hill, into a hotel. The proposals include alterations to the Grade II listed building to restore it to a traditional inn with lodging rooms above. The upper floors of the building will be repurposed as hotel accommodation. The planning application proposes converting the existing residential rooms on the first floor, which will undergo minor changes to become en-suite rooms. A manager’s studio flat and a laundry room will also be included. The building became a public house in the mid 20th century (Image: Google) The ground floor will see alterations to improve movement between the kitchen, restaurant/café area, hotel reception, and the stairwell, with an additional disabled toilet and access. The proposals also include the construction of new outbuildings to replace non-original structures. These will house toilets, an office, a staff room, and storage and will be built in the same style as the existing stable wing. READ NEXT: Plans to convert former charity headquarters into flats The new buildings will also provide additional toilets accessible from the garden. The pub, which most recently operated as a Chinese restaurant up until January 2025, was recently purchased by the neighbouring owner of Hickstead Place. The original farmhouse and stables, dating back to the 18th century, were developed into a hotel in the late 19th century to early 20th century. The building then became a public house known as The Castle in the mid-20th century. The pub is said to be in a 'seriously dilapidated' condition (Image: Landivar Architects) A new café and farm shop are proposed in the west wing of the building, while the ground floor will still operate as a public house and restaurant. The building, which was listed in 1983, is described in the planning application as being \"seriously dilapidated\" and having fallen into \"serious disrepair.\" READ NEXT: Seafront restaurant allowed to keep beach huts permanently The proposals aim to restore the building's original use while also providing a viable and sustainable commercial project that will protect the \"integrity and life\" of the heritage asset.

In 2002, David Courtney was responsible for introducing the first Walk of Fame cultural attraction in the UK, located in Brighton and now he is back to bring a digitalised version. He is finalising a new line-up and has considered The Sussexes as part of that line-up. Despite now living in the US, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but are no longer addressed as His or Her Royal Highness (HRH). On one hand, the pair have made a big impact on the county. During their years active - the couple did many royal visits. The couple on their royal visit to Brighton in 2018. Credit: Sussex News and Pictures In 2018, the pair visited Brighton and Peacehaven, as part of a wider Sussex tour. This included Chichester and Bognor. The tour made for some memorable moments and while on the final leg of the tour, in Peacehaven, Meghan was pictured comforting a young girl who stood in the crowd in tears. Meghan consoled 10-year-old Kara Fairhall's hand and comforted the youngster for some time. On the other hand, some might feel that stepping down from royal duties and their actions since then could affect whether they should be included in this kind of tribute. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to leave the UK after stepping back from their official royal duties in 2020. The founder of Walk of Fame Ltd, David Courtney said:\" We want to put the question out there and see what the public think.\" A final line-up is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.",

      • "content": "A teacher dragged a vulnerable child by the wrist across a classroom. Stephen Bovey admitted to grabbing the year 1 pupil, who had “significant speech and communication issues”, when the child, referred to as Pupil A, ran to the back of the room during an assembly at The Globe Primary School in Lancing. In a statement of agreed facts to a professional conduct panel of the Teaching Regulation Agency, Mr Bovey also admitted that during the incident on March 1, 2023, he did not let go of the child’s wrist when they fell over. He also admitted that after the pupil fell over and got back up, he grabbed their wrist and pulled them back to a chair/table. The panel found the allegations that Mr Bovey used excessive and/or unreasonable force on Pupil A and the force used meant that Pupil A fell over proven. There was also reference to another incident on the same day in which Mr Bovey “grabbed” the pupil’s wrist and “dragged” the child back along the corridor to his classroom after the child walked out. Mr Bovey said he “went through the behaviour policy” to encourage the child to return but the child would not. He stated that there were no other adults in the room with him at the time and that he had called for the senior leadership team to support him but no one was available.

In written representations to the panel, Mr Bovey, who ceased to be employed at the school on July 17, 2023, said he had spent the last 13 months reflecting on the events which he said he was “truly sorry” for. “He has also stated that he now saw that his lack of intention was no excuse and that his “negligence” had led to the potential harm of a child, and that he was responsible for that behaviour whether he intended it or not,” the panel’s report, which was published this week, said. A witness to the incident during the assembly said the child had not been “fazed at all by what happened”. The panel’s report noted there had been no injury. Witnesses to the incident also remarked on how “out of character” it was for Mr Bovey and that he was usually “kind, calm, upbeat and jolly”. It was suggested Mr Bovey, who said he had tried other strategies first to get the child back “without disturbing the other 90 children, but it was unsuccessful and regrettable”, had needed more support. One witness described the moment Mr Bovey ran after the child and shouted for the pupil to “get up off the floor” when they fell over. She said Mr Bovey “just saw red”. “This witness stated that in the weeks leading up to the incident, Mr Bovey had been raising his voice a lot, and that she had asked the senior leadership team to check on him for his own wellbeing,” the panel’s report said. “She stated that she was not concerned for the children. She stated that she could see that he was not himself and had been struggling to keep on top of his workload and that the behaviour in his class added to that. The witness was asked if Mr Bovey seemed angry. She answered ‘yes, he didn’t walk he ran across the back – you could see he just saw red’. “The witness stated that the incident shocked her, as ‘that’s not like him at all’. She stated that she felt that there ‘could have been more support for him before this’.” A second witness said she did not think the child posed any risk to themselves or others in the classroom and was “just being disruptive”. “This witness stated that it was ‘the fact he was angry that I was concerned about and his wellbeing as the red mist had descended’,” the report said. “She stated that this was not his usual behaviour and had been out of character, but that she had raised concerns in the weeks leading up to the incident as he was ‘not handling Pupil A and the behaviour in the class’. The witness stated that the reason she had ‘raised things is as I felt he needed supporting’.” The panel was satisfied that the conduct of Mr Bovey “amounted to misconduct of a serious nature which fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession”. The panel was also satisfied that Mr Bovey was guilty of unacceptable professional conduct. But the panel did not find that Mr Bovey’s actions constituted conduct that may bring the profession into disrepute. It was accepted the incident was out of character and the panel noted that the view of Pupil A’s parents when consulted by the police was “that the potential dismissal of Mr Bovey from his position would not benefit Pupil A, given that he was normally calm”. “They referred to Mr Bovey being the ‘best teacher at the school with Pupil A’, and that when she was in Mr Bovey’s lessons Pupil A ‘has a good day’,” the report said. The panel said: “Given that this was a one-off incident in the context of a teacher with considerable experience, having held teaching posts since 2006, the panel considered that Mr Bovey is able to make a valuable contribution to the profession.” Sarah Buxcey, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education, accepted the panel’s recommendation that a prohibition order would not be proportionate. “I consider that the publication of the findings made would be sufficient to send an appropriate message to the teacher as to the standards of behaviour that were 20 not acceptable and that the publication would meet the public interest requirement of declaring proper standards of the profession,” she said. A spokesman for the school said: “We recognise that situations like this are rare but unsettling for school communities. Throughout this process, we have ensured that all appropriate steps were taken fairly and responsibly, in line with due process. Our priority has always been, and remains, the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of our pupils, and we are committed to maintaining the warm and nurturing environment in which every child thrives.”",

      • "description": "The new charging hub is a significant addition to public EV charging options in the area.",
      • "content": "Eight ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging bays have been installed at Sainsbury's in Lyons Farm. The new \"Smart Charge\" bays allow vehicles to charge in as little as 30 minutes. This is part of Sainsbury's initiative to provide speed, reliability, and competitive prices with rewards for EV drivers. The new charging hub is a significant addition to public EV charging options in the area. The Lyons Farm store is conveniently located near the A27, making it an ideal stop for EV users living locally or passing by. The new ultra-rapid 150kW Smart Charge bays at Sainsbury’s Lyons Farm allow drivers to collect Nectar points while they charge. They provide a sustainable power source for all types of EVs and for all drivers, not just those shopping in-store. The launch of the new hub adds to the existing four Smart Charge hubs and 34 ultra-rapid bays already open along the south coast. This brings the total of Smart Charge locations across the UK to 76. The new charging hub is located in the store’s car park and is easily accessible for disabled customers and those with young children. Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s director of property, procurement and EV ventures, said: \"We know that demand for speedy, reliable and sustainable EV charging facilities in the UK continues to grow – that’s why Sainsbury’s is rolling out Smart Charge, our new best-in-class ultra-rapid charging service, at supermarkets up and down the country. \"We hope EV drivers will enjoy the added convenience and choice our new Lyons Farm hub provides, giving them confidence that they can top up or do a full charge at our second West Sussex location. \"What’s more, they can even grab a coffee or pick up some groceries while they’re there, all while being rewarded for their charge by collecting Nectar points.\" Smart Charge is the first and only EV charging business to be fully owned and managed end-to-end by a supermarket. It is now available via 627 ultra-rapid charging bays at 76 Sainsbury’s locations, with new charging hubs being added to the Smart Charge network regularly. Smart Charge is also the first EV charging provider to offer customers loyalty benefits from a leading loyalty programme, Nectar, allowing them to collect points to spend on their favourite brands.",

Beach hut-style toilets and a specially commissioned wall graphic featuring the South Downs will be among the key design features. Timber and rattan will be used throughout the space to echo Hove’s nautical history, complemented by modern elements including neon signs and bright colours. Ms D’Alessandro added: \"This is the second office project that we have designed for FOUNDRY, having recently completed work on their coworking hub in London’s Wandsworth, which is part of another landmark mixed-use scheme. \"We’re excited to once again be working alongside a business that believes offices should be much more than just places to work.\" The FOUNDRY Hove coworking hub is due to open in summer 2025.",

      • "content": "A community hub is helping to save a traditional Sussex craft from extinction. The Sussex Trug industry is critically endangered, with only five people making the wooden baskets in the country. On Saturday, March 22, trugs of all shapes and sizes were for sale at Alexandra Park Greenhouse during its Wood Market. Expert Rupert Bozeat starts to fashion wooden utensils (Image: Sussex Trug) Robin Tuppen, who runs the Thomas Smith Trug Shop in Magham Down, near Herstmonceux, has launched an umbrella group for the craft’s practitioners to help save the industry. It is called the Sussex Trug Heritage Centre, a not-for-profit limited company. Mr Tuppen has also started a Crowdfunder campaign to raise money to set up a craft centre and he is seeking a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. Robin Tuppen shows his range of Sussex Trugs (Image: Sussex Trug) The greenhouse group has partnered with the Heritage Centre and the hub off St Helens Road will display and sell some trugs. Mr Tuppen said the current style of trug was invented by Thomas Smith, of Herstmonceux, in the 1820s but the idea dates back to Anglo Saxon times. The craft currently uses some materials from Finland and Latvia, with birch wood from Poland. He added: \"Traditional trugs are made with chestnut, with cricket willow for the boards, but at present these are in short supply.\" Other stallholders at Saturday’s market included the Men’s Shed, the Ore-based project that provides a hobby and social interaction for men and women. Jerome Hill, a Men’s Shed trustee, said members make and repair items. Income from sales goes towards the centre’s running costs. Men’s Shed member Thomas McDowell displayed his wood and stained glass sculptures at the market. They can be bought via the Men’s Shed or on Mr McDowell’s Etsy website: woodstainedglass. Design expert Rupert Bozeat, who ran two wood carving classes at the greenhouse on Sunday and Monday, March 23 and 24, demonstrated his craft at Saturday’s market, with bowls, utensils and other products for sale. Tania Turner showed how to make brushes using leather handles with broom corn or coconut fibres for the bristles.",

The multi-award-winning artist, known for hits like \"Hold Back the River\" and \"Let It Go,\" shared insights from his career with students at the university’s Top Floor Live Room. Bay, a BIMM Brighton alumnus, said: \"Being at BIMM really helped me get to where I am now, and I’m chuffed to chat with the students here and share whatever I can to help them get a sense of what this job’s really like and how to keep going in it.\" The exclusive event saw the Brit Award, MTV Europe, Ivor Novello, and Grammy-nominated star reflect on his journey from a BIMM student to a global music sensation. Bay opened up about the ups and downs of his career, offering tips to aspiring musicians. One student shouted to Bay from the crowd: \"When I listened to your first album, I asked my mum and dad to buy me a guitar and a hat.\" Bay laughed and said: \"I loved my time at BIMM – the masterclasses were brilliant for picking up tips and hearing stories from people actually working in the music industry.\" The masterclass, part of BIMM’s series of industry-led sessions, gave students the chance to hear live demonstrations and ask questions. Bay’s down-to-earth approach and willingness to share the realities of life in the music industry left a lasting impression on attendees. Songwriting student Jess said: \"It was so inspiring to hear James Bay speak, especially knowing that he once stood on this stage as a student. \"Having the opportunity to hear his journey and insights through the university was amazing. \"It’s a reminder of what’s possible for all of us.\" BIMM Music Institute has always been a great starting point for young musicians, with its masterclasses giving students the chance to learn directly from industry professionals. The session with James Bay was a highlight, allowing students to learn from one of BIMM’s biggest success stories. Martin Wright, campus dean at BIMM Brighton, expressed his pride in welcoming Bay back to the institute. He said: \"We are very proud to have BIMM Music Institute Brighton alumni James Bay back to deliver an exciting masterclass to the next generation of aspirant music professionals. \"James was an excellent student whilst studying with BIMM, always creative and questioning in nature. \"With that voice and guitar talent, he was destined to succeed.\"",

      • "content": "A woman who survived a sudden cardiac arrest has been reunited with the ambulance crews who saved her life. Frailty nurse practitioner Dee, 52, who has 25 years of experience in the NHS, was found unresponsive by her husband Will at their home in East Sussex in June last year. Will immediately called 999, and emergency medical adviser Teresa Taylor coached him on how to perform CPR on Dee. Resource dispatcher Lauren O'Leary coordinated a team of seven clinicians to their home. The SECAmb teams found Dee in cardiac arrest and delivered five shocks with a defibrillator before achieving a return of spontaneous circulation. Dee was then taken to Conquest Hospital, ventilated in intensive care, and discharged just three weeks later. Dee recently had the chance to personally meet Ian, Emily, Gary, and Leah, who all played a crucial role in her survival. Speaking at the reunion, she said: \"I will never be able to put into words my sincere thanks and appreciation for all those involved. \"I want to thank every single person who treated me and supported my husband that day. \"Your care and service were outstanding, and I am lucky enough to be living proof of this.\" Despite extensive tests, doctors have been unable to determine the cause of Dee’s cardiac arrest. She now has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device implantable inside the body that performs defibrillation. Ian Le Page, one of the paramedics who saved Dee, said: \"Reunions like this are incredibly special. \"Our crews rarely get to see the outcomes of their work, so to meet Dee again, hear her story, and know she is recovering well is truly rewarding. \"Her words mean a lot to us all.\" Dee is now focusing on her recovery at home with her family and remains grateful to those who came to her aid. She added: \"Meeting the ambulance crews was such a positive experience for me and it formed a valuable part of my healing process. \"I highly recommend others to reach out to SECAmb as I did. \"I firmly believe if more bystanders learnt CPR and used this training in those crucial minutes there would be more success stories like mine.\" With half of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests witnessed by a bystander, SECAmb is encouraging people to learn how to confidently perform CPR.
