Map of works area and diversion route
We’ll soon be carrying out CCTV surveys of the underground drainage system and using high-pressure water jetting to clear pipework and remove any blockages, on Street End Lane, Heathfield.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Monday 7 September 2026, between 8am - 5pm.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working between Broad View and Uplands Park.
The road will be closed to through traffic, with a signed diversion route in place via Scotsford Road and the A265.
For safety, access to properties within the works area will be limited and managed during our working hours. If you need access, please speak to the team on site.
