Problem with your TV? 👀

Mobile services are being upgraded and could cause free to view TV interference in Newhaven. This could result in a blocky picture, poor sound or a ‘no signal’ message.

Ben Roome, CEO of Restore TV, said: “Free to view TV matters to millions of people across the UK. Restore TV is here to make sure you can keep watching as mobile networks are improved.

If you notice new interference, they can help fix it quickly and at no cost.

⚠️The RNLI is urging the public to stay safe at the coast during Storm Austen 🌊🌊

Storm Austen is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to southern parts of England from late Thursday into Friday. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning with winds forecast along the south coast to reach more than 70mph. The expected strong winds will also bring heavy rain posing a safety risk to those visiting the coast.

We advise people to exercise extreme caution if visiting the shoreline, especially along exposed cliffs, seafronts and piers. And remember:

❗If you find yourself in trouble in the water, the RNLI’s safety advice is Float to Live:

* Tilt your head back with your ears submerged
* Relax and try to breathe normally
* Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat
* It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently
* Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety.

❗If you see someone else in trouble at the coast, remember Phone, Float Throw:

* Phone 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard to get help.
* Tell the struggling person to Float to Live.
* Throw them something that floats, such as a life ring.
