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 at Slugwash Lane, Wivelsfield.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 9 Septemeber to Friday 20 September between 9am and 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 wil also be using high pressured water to clear the pipework.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working from property ‘Abbots Leigh’ and will continue approximately 400m south to the entrance of ‘The Old Farmhouse’.
Access will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works.
A diversion route will be in place via Slugwash Lane, Green Road, B2112, A272, Slugwash Lane & vice versa.
If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team onsite. Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshalls.
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.
