  • Tons of dead marine life washes up on Littlehampton beach amidst pollution

    Tons of marine life has washed up on #Littlehampton beach amidst the English government allowing water companies to pour masses of sewage into our oceans. Hundreds upon thousands of dead sea animals have washed up on the coast of Littlehampton, including crabs, fish, jellyfish, lobsters, sea snails, oysters, and many other species of marine life amidst the government allowing sewage companies to pollute our oceans full of raw, untreated sewage. The problem began after the #government voted to allow wastewater treatment companies to dump billions of gallons of raw, untreated sewage into our oceans amidst a shortage of lorry drivers to transport the chemicals needed to clean the 'dodgy' wastewater due to #Brexit. Dumping raw sewage into our oceans poses an incredibly high risk of pollution to marine life, swimmers and bathers, the environment, and potential seafood. Many people have signed petitions which are urging water companies to stop dumping sewage into our rivers, oceans, and canals, as well as our other water streams. Dwayne Hards, #LCN's founder, said: "It's really depressing to see our sea life suffering like this so I will investigate this myself by using my microscope and identifying the problem causing bacteria, then I will write an article for LCN's readers to inform them what is causing the surge of dead animals washing up on our beaches."

  • Hundreds of daily drivers flout Norfolk Road's double yellow lines

    Hundreds of drivers flout the double yellow lines outside of #Londis on #Norfolk Road most days and there is barely a traffic warden in sight to enforce the parking offenses. Multiple drivers are parking on Norfolk Road's double yellow lines despite most cars displaying no blue badge or other legal exemption to this law. Many drivers are not only parking on the double yellow lines but also parking on the pavement outside of Londis despite driving on a public footpath being illegal under section 72 of The Highway Act 1835. Some residents of Littlehampton have complained about the parking on both the pavement and double yellow lines, requesting that a traffic warden is sent out to enforce the law. Parking on the pavement is specifically a crime in #London, but not elsewhere, however, the #law does prohibit driving on the pavement and this is a national criminal offense, so wherever you are in the #UK, it's illegal to park on a public footpath except to gain lawful access to property or attend to an emergency. Blue badge holders are permitted to park on double yellow lines for up to three hours providing there badge is displayed correctly and it is safe to do so.

  • "Zero-X Drone" almost had Littlehampton's Bonfire Night 'cancelled'

    A "Zero-X Drone" almost caused #Littlehampton's fireworks for Bonfire Night to be 'cancelled' amidst health & safety concerns according to the secretary of the Littlehampton Bonfire Society. Littlehampton Bonfire Night's fireworks were 'nearly cancelled' because of a drone which was flying above the bonfire that the society originally thought was a "mini aircraft". The society said "they didn't know how high the object was flying at the time and nearly had the event cancelled". A "Zero-X Drone" was the suspected flying object according to the secretary of the Littlehampton Bonfire Society. "Drones and aircrafts are prohibited from flying above the bonfire at any point," according to the Bonfire Society's secretary. Secretary of the Littlehampton Bonfire Society said: "If our society haven't agreed or said yes to a request in relation to activities around our fire, then please assume the answer is no for obvious safety reasons." The drone's flyer contacted the society with a video which they recorded flying above the fire, but they refused to upload it on their website according to the society's secretary. "It would have been a real shame to have had to cancel the event again over a drone because we already had to cancel Bonfire Night twice because of the Covid-19 pandemic," said the society's secretary.

  • History: Who is 'Guy Fawkes' and some interesting facts about Bonfire Night

    Bonfire Night has been celebrated in Great #Britain for a stunning 414 years. Bonfire Night was celebrated since 1605. Members of the public lit humungous bonfires across Great Britain to celebrate the authorities preventing the would be treasonous killing of King James I. The refusal to celebrate Bonfire Night was a criminal offense until 1959, however, it was prohibited to set off fireworks or light bonfires during that time so was celebrated behind closed doors to stop any enemies from knowing where celebrators were. Guy Fawkes is well known for his attempted sinister acts to blow up parliament with King James I inside. He was also known as 'Guido Fawkes'. Guy Fawkes is mostly known for his attempt to carry out the prevented Gunpowder Plot of 1605, however, luckily, the act was stopped and that's why we celebrate Bonfire Night. Guy Fawkes was born in 1570, educated in #York, and died on #January 31st, 1606, aged 36. King Henry VII was the world's first person to launch a fireworks display. People take part in the tradition, primarily in the #UK, by making a Guy Fawkes shaped object or drawing and burn it on a bonfire. Guy Fawkes was sentenced to quartering, hanging, and drawn after he confessed to his attempted treason. However, he somehow managed to leap from the gallows to attempt to prevent his death sentence, but unfortunately for him, he fell and broke his neck, dying instantly. If the treasonous killing had have taken place, it would have been the most serious terrorist act ever carried out in the United Kingdom. Guy Fawkes was a Catholic conspirator. The commonly sung Bonfire Night term, "remember, remember, the 5th of #November, was a quote from Alan Moore.

  • Littlehampton road users at risk of a collision amidst temporary red light runners

    #Littlehampton road users are at risk of a collision or crash amidst 'reckless' drivers and riders running Sea Road's temporary red light system. Some drivers and other road users are running Sea Road's temporary red traffic light despite the danger it poses to other drivers, riders, and pedestrians. According to Dwayne Hards, #LCN's founder, 'many drivers, cyclists, and motorbikes/mopeds were running the temporary red traffic light'. Passing the white stop line at a red light is illegal and the penalty for doing so is usually a £100 fine with 3 penalty points or prosecution. Running a red light can also be, in some cases, considered as driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving. Running a red traffic light poses a high risk of a collision with other vehicles, cyclists, or people because according to https://www.iihs.org/topics/red-light-running, in 2019, 846 people were killed in crashes that involved red light running.

  • (Updated article) Zoom taxi driver allegedly uses a mobile phone with SEN pupils in car

    A #Zoom taxi driver has been accused of using a hand-held mobile phone to answer a phone call whilst he was driving with #SEN students in his car earlier this year. A Zoom taxi driver, Phil, was driving special needs students from their school to their homes and allegedly answered his mobile phone whilst he was driving. Student and founder of #LCN, Dwayne Hards, has said he feels 'very angry, upset, and ignored that the taxi driver would use his phone whilst he was driving'. The taxi firm were aware of Dwayne's #Autism, #ADHD, and his road safety anxieties of 'bad driving' but still still decided to use his phone while he was driving. Dwayne also had a previous bad experience with a taxi driver in his previous home town, Milton Keynes. When Zoom were informed about Phil's wrongdoing, they apologised and said "it wouldn't happen again", but Dwayne said "sorry doesn't cut it - using a phone while driving is distracting and can kill. I also have a fear of cars now and won't use them, I will only use public transport like buses, trains, and trams, as well as aeroplanes". Zoom refused to sack Phil despite his duty of care towards school students. Zoom and the taxi driver knew that Dwayne had a taxi driver in Milton Keynes who used his phone while driving and the amount of distress and anger it caused him. Because of Dwayne's bad experiences with car drivers, including taxis, he is refusing to get in cars and says he "hates them and wants them banned". Releasing Potential, Dwayne's former school in #Chichester, said "if the taxi driver lost his job it would be a shame", Dwayne said in response: "you can justify his corrupted and wrongful actions until it's you or someone in your family that's killed or injured by a distracted driver". Dwayne accused the school and the taxi company of 'corruption' and said they are both "non-compliant with the safety or special needs of the children they are meant to help". This incident happened around the end of #April, 2021. Dwayne called for the taxi driver to be sacked from his job and receive a £200 fine and 6 penalty points or be prosecuted, however, his request was rejected. Dwayne said: "I never thought I would enter a car with a driver whom would use their hand-held mobile phone, however, I have been very unlucky to have been in a car with two dangerous drivers, it is disgusting to be honest. He needs the sack." One of Dwayne's parents said: "Why do taxi drivers insist on using their phones whilst driving, this is the second time this has happened on Dwayne's transport to and from school, so now there is no way we can get him to school. So f#ck#ng angry." Dwayne has refused to attend Releasing Potential School since around six months ago after his form tutor, Harry Stansfield, allegedly used a map on his phone whilst he was driving him back to his home, he also failed to indicate multiple times. Harry apologised, but Dwayne 'wasn't having it'. Dwayne only uses public transportation now, not including taxis, minibuses, or cars. Dwayne also refuses to go in cars because he says he 'feel safe on buses because they drive amazingly'. As far as we know, West Sussex County Council have not been notified about this incident. Dwayne said: "Where's the justice? He wasn't fired, prosecuted, or even slapped with penalty points and a fine, In fact, he is still taking students to and from school. It's a disgrace." Dwayne is advising locals in the area and visitors 'not to use the corrupted taxi company or attend Releasing Potential School'.

Dwayne said he is rating the holiday a "4 out of 5".

  • Here's a way the UK public have the power to get what they need/want

    The #UK public can get what they want/need by striking their target with enough people, for example, a price for a microwave was £405, then if enough people struck the store, they will most likely lower the price if enough people didn't buy it. Another good way to lower the price of an item, ticket, or any other item is to set up a 'discounts group' on #Facebook where millions of people refuse to buy certain items of their choice until they reduce the price to their wishes, this is called striking, and if enough people do it, the store or other organisation will most probably cooperate because if they don't, they will lose a high majority of their customers.

  • Chaos at Littlehampton Petrol Station, Cuff Miller, amid petrol panic buyers (yesterday)

    Many people were panic buying petrol at a #Littlehampton Petrol Station amid the fear of chemical shortages due to #Brexit. Hundreds of cars were queuing up outside the petrol station, causing buses to be late amid the ques and many cars were parking on the pavement despite driving on a pavement being a criminal offense under Section 72 of The Highways Act, 1985, this includes parking because to park there you need to drive onto the footpath. Outside Cuff Miller, there was an employee directing traffic amid the high demand of customers (panic buyers) and one bus was directed to drive down the wrong side of a mini roundabout. Enormous ques have formed over the past few days at (and outside of) Cuff Miller on #Horsham Road. Secretary of #Transport, Grant Shapps, has said "people should be sensible and only purchase petrol when they need it because there will be no petrol shortages", but it isn't unheard of for the government to tell lies or spread inaccurate "information". All over the country, there is petrol panic buyers, not just in Littlehampton, this is a national petrol crisis. The reason for the panic buying is because people fear a petrol shortage, after all, there is a shortage of Co2 and many other chemicals so people will fear a shortage of petrol because they don't know what will happen next amidst Brexit's consequences. Some petrol stations across the United Kingdom have closed to prevent petrol panic buying. The European Union has said that "they will refuse to help the #UK with their lorry drivers out of the shxt they created themselves".
