Last weekend, FM Conway's crew worked all Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday to complete the works outside Rabbit's two access points in Chartwell Road. LBP are pleased to report that access was reopened as planned, ready for work as usual on Tuesday morning.

This week has seen great progress with the majority of the trenches now completed and areas of roadway reopened for full access. Unfortunately sourcing materials has continued to be problem which has caused a slight delay.

LBP are pleased to report that many more areas of plating have now been filled, along with the potholes in the Marlborough Road Car Park crossover. A new large capacity gully pot has also been fitted in Commerce Way, to remove the perpetual puddle and help avoid flooding. The crew plan to fill and re tarmac the gully area later today.

The crew has been observing vehicles entering and exiting the Winston Business Centre (WBC) Access Road and have identify a way to undertake the works at the the top of this access during the day, whilst retaining full access for businesses.

LBP are therefore pleased to report that a weekend closure of the WBC Access Road is no longer required. The crew plan to commence works here on Monday, with half the access worked on at a time. Additional crew will be on site to ensure that each vehicle is carefully guided through the access and if needed, the crew will speedily cover works with metal plates to maintain artic access. The works are expected to continue on Tuesday with full access open by end of play on Tuesday and fully completed on Wednesday.  The crew are prepped to facilitate business needs as quickly as possible, but please could all drivers be patient during these final works.

The area of pavement on the corner of Marlborough Road outside Sussex Transport has been an essential resource to enable all debris to be stored and then safely removed from the park. This area is due to be cleared early next week and the tarmac area will be resurfaced.

LBP will be walking the park with FM Conway early on Tuesday morning to help identify if any further works are required.

The works permit has been extended until Friday 6th September to enable these final works and to provide time for the crew to remove all of their equipment.

LBP look forward to confirming that all works have been completed next week.
