Property developer killed in Bury Hill Porsche smash

Robert Walker (61) of The Hollow, West Chiltington, was killed when his Red Porsche hit a tree, and his wife Penelope, a passenger in the car, was airlifted to Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, London, where her condition was described as critical. She was believed to be in her fifties.

Mr Walker, of Hanson Capital Management, had been working closely with Worthing Borough Council on the Teville Gate development plan to create a shopping centre, leisure park and housing.

Hanson Capital Management is based in Spain and revised Teville Gate plans were due to come before Worthing Borough Council in the next few weeks.
