Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highway service across East Sussex. As part of this, we will be carrying out street lighting works on West Street, Lewes.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out on Wednesday 18 December 2024 and Thursday 19 December 2024 between 7pm and 2am.

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

What are we doing?

This work includes replacing one street light that has reached the end of its working life.

How will this impact highway users?

The team will be working outside property number 1.

Access to the road will be restricted for residents for the duration of these works.

Traffic will be diverted via White Hill, Offham Road, Nevill Road, Spital Road, Western Road, High Street, Market Street.

If you need vehicle access to your property, 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 to emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times

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 work.

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.

Permit Reference: EA006LEW025-05
