South East Water further works in East Grinstead

(Received from South East Water)

Following early completion of our £470,000 project to lay a new water main in Turners Hill Road and West Hill, East Grinstead, we’re now investing a further £350,000 in the area to replace 350m of aging, burst-prone main in Queen’s Road.

If you are interested in speaking to our engineers, we’re holding a public drop-in session in November where they will be on hand to answer any questions you may have (details at the end of this email).

The pipeline upgrade will take place between the junction with West Hill and Dallaway Gardens. The main will be installed in stages, with the road being returned to its original state upon completion of each stage before work progresses to the next section. This will prevent too many residential parking spaces being inaccessible at any one time.

As a safety precaution for pedestrians, motorists and our workforce, we’ll need to close Queen’s Road to undertake these works. Advanced warning signs will be in place along the road before it is closed. The diversion route, which has been agreed in conjunction with the local highways authority, will be clearly signed for the duration of the work.

Access to homes or businesses will be maintained throughout this project, although we are advising customers to park elsewhere to avoid delays.

Drop-in session details
When: Monday 14 November between 4.00pm and 7.00pm
Where: Glen Vue Community Centre, Railway Approach, East Grinstead, RH19 1BS

We look forward to seeing you there.
