Work to the main sewer line, running through the West Beach estate in Lancing, has been causing major tailbacks on the A259.
Residents of the estate have had much to endure, with raw sewage flooding their streets on several occasions since 2021.
Now, as work continues to the main sewer line, travel on the A259 has once again been disrupted with major tailbacks along the road, between Lancing and Shoreham.
Meanwhile, Southern Water have posted an update (dated November 2) to inform residents of its schedule and invite them to a public meeting being held next Monday 7th:
Lining works
Last week, we lined between pits 4-5 on both sewers, which is a total of another 360m of liner in place. We’ve also put in the stub ends at Pit 1 and 2. These allow us to connect the liner to the pipe, so this is another step forward to getting the pipe ready to be used again.
Week starting 31st October
This week we’ll be:
- Cleaning, preparing, and lining from pit 6 to 5.
- Cleaning, preparing, and lining from pit 6 to 7.
- Carrying out the extra work to dig the two new pits, 5a and 5b.
These timescales may still need to be adapted due to tides and weather.
Tankers on the Brighton Road
As you can see on the map, we only need to line from pit 5 down the alleyway to finish the Hasler line. We hope this will be up and working by the middle of November. This will reduce the number of tankers on the Brighton road by nearly half. Sorry, but we’ll need to keep the traffic management until all the pumping stations are back in use.
Invitation to Public Meeting
We hope you’ve received your invitation to meet Katy Taylor, the Chief Customer Officer, and the rest of the team involved in the construction work.
Date: Monday 7th November 2022
Time: 6-7.30pm
Place: Auditorium, Ropetackle Arts Centre, Shoreham.
