Sex offender returned to prison
A sex offender from Horley has been sent back to prison after breaching the conditions of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
67-year-old, Clive Edward Ellis, was sentenced in 2007 to a 999 month indeterminate public protection sentence. He was released on a strict licence in April 2013.
Officers from Surrey Police’s High Harm Perpetrator Unit conducted an unannounced visit at Ellis’ home on 8 October, where they found six undisclosed internet-enabled devices, thereby breaching the conditions of his SHPO.
Ellis will remain in prison indeterminately.
Businesses fear parking price increase will drive away customers
Businesses in Horsham fear a car park increasing its charges by 294% will reduce footfall in the town centre.
Twelve car parks will see an increase on Sundays of at least £2.20 from April next year – but Piries Place in the town centre will see the largest rise from £1.70 to £6.70 to park all day.
For the Monday to Saturday increases, the council will add between 10p to 30p on a stay of up to two hours.
Horsham District Council said the increase is the first in two years but it had to make “tough decisions” to avoid cutting essential services.

Sussex Workers are Struggling to Get Employment
It’s been reported that people across Sussex are losing out on getting work.
That’s because of lengthy delays to disclosure and barring service checks which take place before an offer of employment can be made.
DBS checks are normally carried out where a person is looking for work in roles such as care services, healthcare, teaching and childcare.
Sussex police is one of the forces which is taking the longest amount of time to carry out the required checks.
The force says that its resources had been overwhelmed due to a rise in demand and has used additional funding to employ new caseworkers to tackle the backlog.
