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

How will this impact highway users?

Then on Friday 14 November, we will be working at both sides of the junction of The Mint – there will be 15 minute delays throughout the course of the day while the work is undertaken.

Lion Street, Rye: we will be working outside the entrance of ‘Kino Café Bar and Terrace’. The road will remain open with minimal disruption to road users.

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 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 notice some noise, flashing lights, or reversing sirens. We will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.

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.

Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
