Major plans for road resurfacing

A major programme of road resurfacing has been announced by East Sussex County Council.

Work will be carried out in Uckfield and surrounding villages, as well as across the rest of the county.

The two-years of maintenance will cost more than £23 million.

Since the snowy winter, council workers have fixed more than 30,000 potholes and this is being followed by a plan to improve the overall condition of roads in East Sussex.
