Your Bexhill and Battle Observer is in shops now

This week we reveal how hospitals in the area will be receiving part of a major £3.7bn funding for the NHS.

The full story is in today’s paper.

We also report on how the family of a 21-year-old woman whose body was found on the beach near Galley Hill has launched an appeal to find out what happened in the moments before her death.

This week tributes have also been paid to the former headteacher of a Bexhill school and college following his death. For the full story, pick up a copy of today’s Observer.

Other stories in today’s paper include a grieving mother’s upset after being told she cannot leave more than two toys by her son’s grave at Battle Cemetery, and the latest news about a Bexhill woman’s progress in the Great British Bake Off.

We also feature the results of our Big Conversation survey, revealing people’s thoughts on how the pandemic and lockdown has affected them and how it has changed their day-to-day lives.

The double-page feature is in today’s Observer.
