Students and local politicians have been demonstrating in Hastings against what they say are plans to close Brighton University's Hastings campus.

The university has said it's not sustainable to keep its current provision of courses in Hastings.

But it's rejecting student claims that it's walking away from the town.

Yet disability student representative at Brighton University, Mark Harvey, says that's not true.
