Popular walking area outside Eastbourne closed due to gas works

Work on Peelings Lane began on Monday (May 18) and is expected to last until July 6.

Peelings Lane starts opposite the Red Lion at Stone Cross and SGN contractors are carrying out the work on the stretch from behind Banner way along past the new Persimmons site on Honeysuckle Lane, Primrose Field Wood Sage Way and down towards the junction with Hankham Hall Road.

Emergency access is being maintained but the pathway is closed off to walkers and cyclists.
