Dear Resident,
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highway service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out streetlighting works on Friars Walk & Lansdown Place, Lewes.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 30 September 2024 to Friday 4 October 2024 between 6pm and 2am.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
These works involve replacing 8 streetlights and illuminated signs.
How will this impact highway users?
Works will take place in two phases:
Friars Walk - Monday 30 September to Wednesday 2 October.
Lansdown Place - Wednesday 2 October to Friday 4 October.
The team will be working be working from outside the ‘Fuego Lounge Restaurant’ to the junction with Station Road.
Access to the road will be restricted for the duration of works. Traffic will be diverted via High Street, Western Road, Winterbourne Hollow, Bell Lane, Southover High Street, Priory Street and Station Road.
If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on-site. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls. Emergency access will be maintained at all times.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: 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 work.
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.
