Map showing location of works

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 site investigations at the junction of Ersham Road and South Road, Hailsham.

These works form part of ongoing investigations ahead of larger works to relocate the existing roundabout.

What does the work involve?

The team will be carrying out CCTV drainage investigations to determine the condition of the underground system, along with using high pressure water to clear the existing pipes.

When do they start?

Work will take place on from Monday 12 August 2024 to Friday 23 August 2024 between 6pm and 12am.

We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.

How will this impact highway users?

The team will be working in two locations throughout these works:

South Road: Between the junction of Western Road and the junction to The Holt.

Ersham Road: Between South Road and the junction to Knights Garden.

The road will remain open with temporary traffic signals in place.

Information for residents and businesses

Parking: ‘No Parking’ signs and cones will be placed on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works. We may knock on your door to request vehicles are moved if parked within the no parking area. We appreciate your collaboration during this time.

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.

Permit Reference: EA005IM-00013-A-02 & EA005IM-00013-B-02
