Roadworks Prinkle Hill 19.03.24-21.03.24

IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION 26 February 2024

Prinkle Hill, Dallington

Dear Resident / Business owner,

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 targeted patch repairs in Prinkle Hill, Dallington.

Once completed, these works will help improve the condition of the road surface.

When do they start?

Work will be carried out from Tuesday 19 March – Thursday 21 March between the hours of 8am – 4pm.

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 whilst the work is undertaken. A diversion route will be in place via The Street, Battle Road & vice versa.

If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. Please bear in mind, there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals.

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 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.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network.

Dallington residents are also welcome to attend this event taking place at Brightling Village Hall.

Warmer homes event

Please join us on Thursday 29 February at 7:00 pm in Brightling Village Hall for a helpful, informative and friendly evening looking at how to retrofit our local homes – particularly the many older buildings found in Brightling and neighbouring villages – to adapt to the future of home heating. In other words, how to stay warm, for less money and with less impact on the environment.

Our main speaker will be Joe Daly: architect, energy adviser and retrofit coordinator for Energise Sussex Coast (a not-for-profit community energy co-operative).

There will also be 3 short case studies from local people:

a local resident who installed an air source heat pump in an older property
a local resident who installed a ground source heat pump
a local resident who installed solar panels, batteries and now profits from surplus electricityPLUS a demonstration of the thermal imaging camera. The thermal imaging camera can provide a heat image of YOUR HOUSE showing where the heat is leaking out. After the demonstration, it will be possible to request a free thermal imaging visit to YOUR HOUSE (initially open to Brightling residents who come to the talk – limited availability).

The event is free but we are asking people to book tickets so that we can manage numbers. Book tickets using the button below or email [email protected]Important note.
