FROM EAST SUSSEX HIGHWAYS

IMPORTANT ROADWORKS INFORMATION
B2096 Battle Road, Punnets Town

Dear Resident / Business owner,
We’ll soon be carrying out road stud replacements on Battle Road, Punnets Town, as part of our ongoing road safety programme.

When do they start?
Work will be carried out on Friday 2 October 2026 between 8pm and 6am.
We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on
site.
How will this impact highway users?
We will be working between Rookery Lane and Middle Lane.
The road will be closed to through traffic, with a signed diversion route in place via the
B2203, the A267, the A271, and vice versa.
For safety, access to properties within the works area will be limited and managed during
our working hours. If you need access, please speak to the team on site, as arrangements
and routes may change as work progresses.
Please bear in mind, there could also be a delay while the area is made safe for you
to pass and your vehicle may be escorted by site marshalls. This is for properties with
direct access within the closure area only and there will be no through route.
Please be polite and respectful to the site teams, they are working to keep everyone safe.
