Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of Tia Brade and her family are becoming increasingly concerned for her wellbeing.

She was last seen on Sunday evening in the borough but did not return home and has not been heard from since.

It is believed Tia could be in Hastings, East Sussex.

She is a light-skinned black girl, 5ft 8in and of heavy build, with brown eyes and black hair, which she wears in a bun.

It is not known what she was wearing at the time of her disappearance.
