Squatters have been warned they are risking their lives after another fire in an eyesore former shopping precinct.

The blaze broke out at a disused shop at Teville Gate, Worthing, just after 9.20pm yesterday.

Nobody was hurt in the fire, which is thought to have been caused by burning rubbish and bedding.

A spokesman for the fire brigade said: "We have been there a few times before with incidents like this and there is a definite risk. We are concerned that someone will get hurt."

Teville Gate was in line for a multi-million pound cinema development but news has leaked it could be scrapped.

We recently revealed how a letter from developer Pharro said it was struggling to find a cinema operator and was exploring a retail scheme instead.

But developers and council bosses denied there had been any change in the plans.
