More Litter Removal From A27 In Sussex

A new clean-up of an infamously litter-strewn road in Sussex is beginning this week.

The removal operation on the A27 from Falmer to Beddingham is set to take place over four nights starting on Monday, June 28.

According to Lewes District Council, whose teams will be involved, their work will concentrate on the eastbound carriageway, and will include more than just picking up waste.

Officials said new signs will be installed, instructing travellers to take litter home with them — and ensure any cargo is secured properly.

In May, council staff said they cleared away two tonnes of litter from a stretch of the same road, among much other material removed.

Councillor Julie Carr, Cabinet member for Recycling, Waste and Open Spaces, said:

"I'm very proud of the work our Environment First team are doing on the A27 and I implore drivers and their passengers on the A27 to behave responsibly and take their litter home.  

"Rest assured, if we can identify litter louts we will track them down and prosecute them." 

The work should begin at 9pm each night, and lane closures will be in place.
