We will be returning to Upperton Road, Eastbourne to complete the next phase of works. As part of the design stage for future bus lane facilities, we will be carrying out drainage investigation works.

The works involve CCTV surveys into the condition of the underground pipe system. We will also be using high pressured water to clear the system.
