Sussex World Bulletin Feb 29

Transcript

00:00 Hi, my name is Sam from Sussex World and here are the top stories from across the county

00:05 for Thursday, February 29th.

00:08 A walker has discovered a set of dinosaur footprints recently uncovered on the beach

00:11 in Bexhill.

00:12 Vicky Ballinger was out with her children this week when they made the stunning discovery.

00:16 Vicky says she believes the footprints are an iguana dong among others.

00:20 The foreshore area from Bexhill to Fairlight is well known for the track casts and prints

00:23 of dinosaurs.

00:25 The rocks Bexhill is situated on are around 140 million years old and contain the remains

00:29 of the dinosaurs that used to roam its then freshwater surroundings.

00:34 The Body Shop's administrators have confirmed a store in Sussex will close but that the

00:37 majority will remain open.

00:39 Some 2,000 jobs and 100 high street shops were put at risk after bosses at the Sussex

00:44 founded skincare company announced the business was going into administration on February

00:48 13th.

00:49 In a major update today, the Body Shop's joint administrators confirmed the 116 stores

00:53 that remain open as restructuring of the UK business progresses.

00:58 These include stores in Chichester, Worthing, Crawley and Eastbourne.

01:01 However, the Hastings shop is set to close.

01:04 As a result of the store closures, 489 staff will regrettably remain redundant over the

01:09 next four to six weeks.

01:11 And finally, a data breach expert has said that Southern Water's response to customers

01:14 following a cyber attack in January is not sufficient to compensate those whose data

01:18 has been put at risk.

01:20 The Water firm confirmed it suffered an illegal intrusion after it was named on the cyber

01:24 criminal's site on January 22nd.

01:25 It is believed that data included names, dates of birth, national insurance numbers, bank

01:30 account details and reference numbers that could have been stolen.

01:33 In a recent statement to its customers, Southern Water offered those affected enhanced experience

01:37 credit monitoring free of charge for the next 12 months.

01:40 But Eleanor Coleman, solicitor and head of the data breach department at JFL Law, has

01:44 said that it is not sufficient to compensate clients properly for this breach of information.
