Your letter reference above dated 13 January 2017 regarding Polegate By Pass Resurfacing
Whilst as a user of this road and nearby resident I appreciate that maintenance needs to be carried out to maintain the by pass, the full closure of either one direction or the other for almost three weeks will put intolerable strain on the local villages, particularly Pevensey.
That a weight limit through Pevensey Village has not been installed by East Sussex County Council remains a constant disappointment and thus your suggested diversion route will prove to be, as usual, when Polegate by Pass is treated, advisory only.
History shows, that without the weight limit to protect the school access and fabric of the remains of Pevensey Castle, enormous industrial delivery vehicles, Jempson’s curtain siders and low loaders bearing new saloons will thunder through the village completely ignoring the tachograph lengthening route that you plan to sign.
The village really does deserve the respect that, at least, a temporary weight restriction, would offer. The school half term planned during your works barely mitigates the negative impact of these vehicles.
