Map showing location of works and diversion route
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 works in Parsonage Lane/Wheel Lane, Westfield following numerous reports of flooding to private property and the carriageway.
These works involve a jetting unit attending to clear gullies, alleviating flooding to the carriageway and private property.
When do they start?
Works will take place on Monday 29 April and Tuesday 30 April. 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 road will be closed to through traffic between 9:30am-3pm.
Parsonage Lane : The team will be working from junction of Parsonage Ln / Wheel Ln and continue 180m North West along Parsonage Ln. The diversion route will be in place from Moat Lane, Ebden's Hill, Westfield Lane, Church Lane, Wheel Lane, and vice-versa.
Wheel Lane : The team will be working from entrance to Yew Tree Farm and cont. 400m South East to the entrance of Wheel Farm Business Park. The diversion route will be in place from Harts Green, Cottage Lanem, Chapel Hill, Tollgate Road, Kent Street, Whydown Hill, Kent Street, Ebden's Hill, Westfield Lane, Church Lane, Wheel Lane, and vice-versa.
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 works area may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
