The fire service is still urging residents to keep their windows and doors shut after a huge blaze at a recycling centre.

Smoke continued to billow from the Arun Waste Services facility in the Bairds Business Park in Grevatts Lane near Littlehampton this morning, three days after the fire broke out. 

In an announcement on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said: "We have one fire engine at the scene today.

"There is still a lot of smoke in the area so please continue to keep windows and doors closed if you live nearby."

On Friday, some 50,000 homeowners in the region between Bognor and Littlehampton were told to keep their windows and doors shut amid fears the harmful smoke could enter their properties.

At its peak, more than ten fire engines and several ladder trucks and water carriers were involved in the battle to bring the blaze under control.

The affected unit, estimated to be around 1,645 square metres, contained recycling waste and machinery which made the blaze difficult to contain.
