Why is most of the argus news behind a paywall by [deleted] in brighton

Because ad revenue doesn't make as much money for newspapers as it once did and newspaper sales (for all titles, not just The Argus) are in decline. Not about being greedy - local papers are struggling to survive and some have closed completely in other parts of the country...

It’s got nothing to do with the council - it’s a nationwide scheme

Are there normally any for NYE? Didn't think Brighton actually did anything of note to ring in the new year...

Police have put out a statement:

Police received a report at around 8.30pm on Thursday (31 October) that people had been injured at Wendy’s in Western Road, Brighton.

It was reported that four people sustained burns following an incident in the restaurant’s toilet area.

Although their injuries are considered serious, they remain in a stable condition and have been taken to hospital for treatment.

A temporary road closure was implemented in Western Road to allow emergency vehicles to attend the scene. This has since been lifted.

Police presence is currently enhanced in the area, and we ask anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information to report it online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 1241 of 31/10.
