@WSHighways Has it been reported to Southern Water about the volumes of water escaping through all the man holes along The Street, Walberton? Water is literally spraying out of the man holes due to water pressure

@brightonsnapper So easy to happen with older cars… an aging fuel or oil line that suddenly lets go and you’re in a lot of trouble 😢

[National Highways: South-East @HighwaysSEAST]

@brightonsnapper @SussexTW @BBCSussex Closed due to large deep potholes hidden under the flood water. Yet some selfish drivers still think it’s okay to move the barriers and drive through 🫤

@WSHighways Someone last night has knocked over all the signage and some cars are driving though. Can someone from your team reposition the barriers and signage please?

We always moan about how bad our local roads are, so here is an appreciation post for re-tarmacing Yapton lane

FYI
Tye Lane will be closed for resurfacing

[This is Walberton @thisiswalberton]

@WBFNDP Our village is slowly becoming unrecognisable and a shambles..Tye lane junction is a joke. Too narrow, no clear lane markings, Lorries having to turn in The Street and reverse up Tye Lane to housing estate. So narrow in places you cannot pass without yielding. Sort it out
