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 investigation works on Lower Road and Church Road, Herstmonceux.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out on Tuesday 22 October 2024 to Wednesday 23 October 2024 between 9am to 4pm.

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 CCTV surveys of the underground drainage system. We will also be using high pressured water to clear the pipework.

How will this impact highway users?

The team will be working from the junction of Lower Road and Church Road, and continue approximately 375 metres West along Lower Road. The team will also be working along Church Road, from outside property ‘Magnum Place’ and continue approximately 365 metres South.

Access to the road will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works.

Traffic will be diverted via Church Road, Butlers Lane and Lower Road and vice versa.

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. Access to 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.

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.
