Map of works area
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 a drainage investigation on The Street, Firle.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Monday 21 October 2024 between 9:30am and 3pm.
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 a CCTV survey of the underground drainage system, as well as using high pressured water to clear any blockages.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working from the with The Dock and continue North for approximately 150 meters.
Access to the road will be restricted for the duration of works. Unfortunately, there is no diversion route in place due to the nature of the location, however access for residents will be maintained.
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 for 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.
