Five huts were destroyed in Heene Road last month after what West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service described as the deliberate ignition of a motorbike.

The huts are set to be restored over the next three to four weeks, according to Worthing Borough Council, in time for the summer.

"The huts are an important part of life on our seafront, and play a valuable role in promoting health and wellbeing at this time of year.”
