Maharajah arrests
The West Sussex County Times reports that officers from a Home Office Immigration Enforcement team visited the Maharajah in Bramber at 9:15pm on Thursday March 13th and arrested three Bangladeshi men:
Two, aged 28 and 32, had overstayed their visas while a 32-year-old was found to have entered the country illegally. .. The business was served notices warning that a civil penalty of up to £10,000 per illegal worker found will be imposed unless proof is provided that the correct right-to-work checks were carried out. This is a potential total of up to £30,000 for the restaurant.
A place to park
The Shoreham Herald reports:
Just three schools in the whole of Shoreham, Southwick, Steyning and Upper Beeding are currently covered by a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). Despite the majority of schools using School Keep Clear (SKC) markings near entrance gates, the rest have no TRO, meaning the police cannot take any action if people park on them. West Sussex county councillor Robin Rogers has led a lengthy campaign since he found out in 2009 that all but 10% of SKC were totally unenforceable.
A TRO does currently apply to Upper Beeding Primary.
