In this week’s paper we feature the story of a Hastings mum, who wants to thank two women who helped rescue her one-year-old son from a stream at Alexandra Park.

Developers have also put forward plans to build four zero carbon eco-homes in St Leonards which have attracted local opposition. The full story can be found in today’s Observer.

A St Leonards mum has also spoken of her anguish this week, as she could not see her terminally-ill son on what may be his final birthday.

Tributes have also been paid to a teacher and Olympic torch-bearer. The full tribute from his family can be found in today’s Observer.

Our two-page feature this week tells the story of twin sisters who were taken to court and sued after naming their alleged sexual abuser on social media.
