Kent Lane will be closed from Monday 29th September for about 2 weeks.

They’ll open the road overnight from 6pm to 7am, apart from the nights of Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd October.

Also

BT Openreach who are also closing the road to replace a telegraph pole for 2 days on 1st October. They are asking us to divert and come down the lane from the other direction and this sounds like you may be closing the diversion route. Can you (Southern Water) or reps from the Parish Council double check to ensure that the properties in the middle of the two closures are still going to have access.
