I am pleased to inform you that as part of our continuing efforts to improve the highways, work is due to commence soon at London Road, East Grinstead.

What we’re doing

For this project we will be:

• Replacing obsolete equipment and cabling to improve reliability.

The work will start on 5th March 2018 and is expected to take 4 weeks to complete. Our hours of work will generally be between 9.30am and 4.30pm. Due to the nature of the works being delivered you may experience some disturbance and we apologise for this in advance. Before the works start, we will erect advance warning signs in the local area, letting you know any changes to the start date and marking the extent of the works.
