Weather causes Worthing Pier closure

Tim Smalley, Worthing beach inspector, said: "We closed the pier at 1pm to members of the public as a safety precaution because winds were blowing at about 50mph.

"The pier will remain closed until weather conditions improve.

"There are also about a dozen beach huts which have been knocked over by the force of the gales along the seafront in Goring."
