We recently wrote to you about repairs we need to carry out to the drainage on Green Road, Wivelsfield. These repairs needed to be rescheduled due to other work in the area. We apologise for any inconvenience this caused.

When do they start?

Works will now be carried out from Monday 15 September to Friday 3 October 2025. 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 repairs and replacing the pipework in the drainage system, installing inspection chambers, root cutting and carrying out routine maintenance to help with any blockages. We will also by clearing the overgrown vegetation.

How will this impact highway users?

We will be working between the junctions of Blackmores and Eastern Road.

The road will remain open with temporary traffic signals in place while these works take place. The traffic management will need to remain in place 24-hours a day due to excavations in the carriageway.

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.

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.
