Map of works area and diversion route
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out drainage works on Church Road, Newick.
When do they start?
Works will be carried out on Monday 13 April to Thursday 16 April 2026, between 8am and 5pm. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We will soon be installing new pipes and repairing the existing drainage system to help reduce flooding in the area.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working between the junctions of Allington Road and Blind Lane. The road will be closed for 24 hours a day for the safety of all road users.
Access will be restricted to residents while we are working, with traffic diverted via Allington Road, Oxbottom Lane, Cornwells Bank, Font Hill, Church Road and vice versa.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: If required, we will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.
Buses: Any affected bus services have been informed and will be diverted.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network. Should you have any concerns regarding these works, you can contact us at eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
