Mayor Andy Durr is back in hospital after being taken ill for the second time in a month.

The Brighton and Hove mayor was first admitted to the Royal Sussex County Hospital after feeling unwell on his way to an engagement.

He was discharged but has been readmitted for further checks on his chest and heart after feeling poorly again.

The mayor will be discharged on Sunday but will have to rest at home before resuming his official duties next month.

Last night's council meeting was chaired by his deputy, Labour councillor Gill Mitchell.

She and former mayors including Coun Francis Tonks are carrying out other engagements.
