Resurfacing and digging restrictions
After substantial road works such as resurfacing, the county can restrict new digging in a street for a few years (section 58 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991). Before them, it gives notice so utilities can dig first.
- Bexhill Road
Section 58 restriction in force. Resurfaced or rebuilt recently: new digging in part of the street (carriageway) is restricted until 11 May 2029. Emergency works and some others can still go ahead.
- Hoad's Wood Road
Section 58 restriction in force. Resurfaced or rebuilt recently: new digging in part of the street (carriageway) is restricted until 4 June 2029. Emergency works and some others can still go ahead.
- Hoad's Wood Road
Section 58 restriction in force. Resurfaced or rebuilt recently: new digging in the whole street (carriageway) is restricted until 4 June 2029. Emergency works and some others can still go ahead.
- Sedlescombe Road North
Section 58 restriction in force. Resurfaced or rebuilt recently: new digging in part of the street (carriageway) is restricted until 21 January 2029. Emergency works and some others can still go ahead.
