A Chinese restaurant has received a one-star food hygiene rating, having been given a zero at its previous inspection.
Nice, a Chinese takeaway at 30 Tower Road, St Leonards, received the new rating after being visited by inspectors on October 16.
It had previously been given the zero rating following an assessment on May 1, earlier this year.
A one is the second lowest of the six possible ratings and means that "major improvement is necessary".
The ratings are determined based on performance in three categories: hygienic handling of food, cleanliness and condition of facilities, and management of food safety.

While Nice's food hygiene was deemed "generally satisfactory", the inspectors found that "improvement is necessary" regarding the restaurant's cleanliness and condition.
In the management of food safety, "major improvement is necessary."
This was an upgrade on Nice's previous inspection, when it was found that "major improvement" was necessary in all three categories.
The ratings consider the preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling, and storage of food, the cleanliness and condition of facilities, including layout, ventilation, and pest control, and the management systems or checks in place to ensure food is safe to eat.
