EasyJet, London Gatwick’s largest airline, is celebrating the inaugural flights to a major city in France. The first flight to Brest took off on June 25, and the route will continue to operate every Wednesday and Sunday throughout the summer. The new twice-weekly services will provide travellers with a new short hop across the channel to discover France’s stunning, lesser-travelled 1,700 mile Atlantic coastline. Proud of its maritime heritage, Brest sparkles in the summer.

Concerned residents braved the heat to take part in a walk led by the Save West of Ifield (SWOI) campaign group. SWOI is fighting to prevent Homes England and Horsham District Council (HDC) from building up to 10,000 houses around the west of Crawley from Ifield, through Lambs Green to Faygate. The walk, which took place on Sunday, June 22, explored the area that would be covered in 3,000 new houses if Homes England proceed with their plans.

A prolific shop thief has been sentenced over his latest offences in Crawley, police have said. Sussex Police said Kenny Grubb was the subject of a Criminal Behaviour Order, preventing his access to stores in the Ifield area and the wider town. But the 33-year-old was arrested again after breaching the order not to enter stores. This month, police said he entered the Co-op store in Ifield Drive and repeatedly stole items from inside.

Eastbourne Borough have announced that Yahya Bamba has joined Forest Green Rovers for an undisclosed fee. Bamba joins the National League side – who finished third last season – after an unforgettable spell at The ReachTV Stadium. The pacey winger made his mark on his debut – scoring the winning goal against Hemel Hempstead Town in March 2024, and has been a virtual ever-present since.
