Sea Road's pumping station was causing a stink to the Wave car park earlier this morning. Dwayne Hards, LCN's founder, was on a walk at around 6:30am this morning and said he could smell a strong, unpleasant odour coming from the pumping station next to the Wave. The reason for pumping stations stinking of wastewater is usually because of a build-up of fatbergs, oils, and grease when they aren't maintained properly, according to a Pumping Solutions article. This site has been causing a smell for a long time, according to Dwayne. Southern Water have got a reputation for dumping raw, untreated sewage into our oceans and have been fined £90,000,000 for doing so.

Dwayne Hards - LCN's founder - went on a breakfast with Santa at the Littlehampton Harvester and said he "really enjoyed it". Dwayne said he really enjoyed his breakfast with Santa as the service was amazing because the wait wasn't long and the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming, as well as polite. Whilst it was obvious this wasn't the real Father Christmas, he was still doing his job for him by taking wishes and asking questions to pass the answers on to Santa himself. Santa told Dwayne to "brush his teeth regularly, listen, and keep his room clean". Santa said that there was a child who didn't have a wash before Christmas and didn't keep his room clean one year so he took the presents back and left him only one.

A violent man has been thrown to the floor and detained by a group of security guards in Gunwharf Quays at around 2:10pm this afternoon. Copyright: Dwayne Hards.

The man was aggressively screaming at the top of his lungs. The man was also threatening other members of the public and security guards. The incident attracted many by passers to watch the incident and record with their phones, however, this made the man act more aggressive and start threatening people and causing conflict with other members of the public.

A kind bus driver has let a lady board the bus for free after her debit/credit card wasn't working on the payment machine.

Doing this will most certainly result in some happy and emotional faces.

An ambulance was in attendance to a property on Bridge Road at around 11:30am today. Paramedics were seen wheeling a patient into the ambulance on a bed. The incident appeared to be "rushed and serious", according to Dwayne Hards, LCN's founder and a passer-by. The parked ambulance was causing a mild delay in traffic as it had to park partially on the road to give pedestrians, buggies, scooters, and wheelchairs enough room. Dwayne said: "I hope all involved are ok and well. I wish the patient a speedy recovery."

A buildup of traffic on the A529 has been caused by roadworks and temporary traffic lights. Temporary traffic lights are causing a long queue of vehicles, however, drivers are currently only waiting for around five or ten minutes for their turn. Roadworks and traffic jams are not unusual in Sussex, however, some impatient drivers blare their horns out of road rage.

Huge buildups of traffic have been causing delays for many motorists and passengers using public transportation. The traffic jams have been caused by both roadworks and red traffic lights. Many people were driving through Rustington which added to the build-up of cars, lorries, and buses. The 700 Coastliner buses were showing up in pairs of two or three at a time amidst the delays.

A driver has been filmed using his handheld mobile device whilst behind the wheel in Rustington earlier today.

An unexplained object has been filmed in Littlehampton less than a week ago in the night sky. Dwayne Hards has captured and shared footage of a puzzling light that was moving in the sky near enough to Christmas time to potentially be Santa himself. The mysterious object did not resemble a plane, drone, or helicopter; but could possibly be one of these things or even the big man himself as it was filmed near enough to the festive season, according to Dwayne. The object cannot be made out as the footage is quite blurry, however, the main possibility is Santa, given the time of year. The unidentified object was white but had a flashing red light every few seconds. Quickly, the object began flying towards Worthing, according to Dwayne.

Beagles need plenty of care and are known as hunting dogs as they were bred to hunt down deer and rabbits. Caring for a Beagle includes many similar responsibilities as caring for any other dog, however, there are differences. Most importantly, it is crucial to take your Beagle to the vets to get their vaccinations and regular check-ups to prevent bacterial and viral infections as well as discovering potential health problems. Beagles should be fed a nutritional, dry, and regulated meal. Beagles will eat for England if food is left out for them so it is important to feed them only the appropriate amount, not an all they can eat buffet. Bins should be sealed to prevent your dog(s) from eating out of the trash. Beagles need a minimum of one hour's exercise per day. Beagles should be walked regularly to keep them exercised, happy, and healthy. It is also important to secure your garden so that your dog(s) cannot escape. Beagles hardly ever need washes unless they get themselves covered in faeces or dirt. However, their ears should be cleaned with cotton and ear cleaner at a minimum of twice a week. Their nails should be trimmed by you or a vet once a month. Beagles are knows for barking when left alone or even with you. If your dog(s) bark excessively, you should seek advice from a vet.

Animals should not be given as a Christmas or birthday gift - especially not as a surprise - because would be owners will likely not be ready to take on the lifelong commitment of owning an animal. PETA UK, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, strictly advises against buying pets for Christmas due to the risk of abandonment, cruelty, or neglect. A high majority of people see buying animals during Christmas or birthdays as "irresponsible". Some children are not able to understand, due to their level of maturity, how to treat animals so may hurt them unintentionally and, once hurt, their pet may be seriously injured or worse. Every December, three animals are thrown out into the cold, according to a 2010 article from The Guardian. A majority of animal shelters, pet stores, and breeders will refuse to sell animals to customers within their chosen time before Christmas and will only continue doing so after the festive season has finished.

A video has emerged of a van driver using his mobile phone in a build up of traffic and when moving in Arundel on December 16th at around 9:20am. The driver was completely oblivious to the road as he was so engrossed in his mobile phone. Despite a bus being in front and a lorry not far behind, the driver still decided to risk every other road users' life by tapping away at his handheld mobile device. The driver's head could be seen on his lap for around 30 seconds at a time before he took a quick look at the road and then continued tapping away.

Operation Crackdown - to clamp down on bad driving in Sussex - needs revisiting. Operation Crackdown was introduced in 2002 and expanded in 2007 to report antisocial driving. Antisocial driving includes speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, careless and aggressive driving, and using a mobile phone at the wheel. Maybe it's time for the council to remind it's employees of their obligations. Using your phone whilst stopped or parked with the engine running is an offence under the law with rules set to be tightened in 2022. Drivers can face six penalty points and a £200 fixed penalty notice or prosecution. Official statistics show that you are up to four times more likely to be involved in an accident if you are on your phone whilst driving, making you a risk to other road users and pedestrians.

Diggers start clearing the mouth of the #Arun. Works started today on clearing the mouth of the river Arun as diggers stood either side and started dredging. The old groynes aren't doing their jobs properly so the pebbles are forming shoal at the mouth of the river, according to an engineer on site. Dredging the stones will keep the channel deep enough for boats to move in and out. It will also allow an important inspection of the harbour walls that could need maintenance. The removed stones will build up and reinforce the existing beach either side of the harbour walls.

A Littlehampton Fish Stall is causing a smell of raw fish to passers by and has many residents saying "it smells around here".

Residents have said the smell is worse when the Stall is open and there's spell of hot weather. The scientific cause of the Stall smelling is down to the dead fishes releasing bacteria and proteins which convert TMAO (Trimethylamine N-oxide) into trimethylamine (TMA), this is what causes the smell around the Fish Market.

Dwayne Hards said "he isn't buying any of these leftist, disgraceful lies".
