Roadworks return

Three-way traffic lights are due to be installed, parking restrictions will apply and the work, also affecting nearby Wickham Avenue, could take up to 10 weeks to complete.

Local traders, furious at slow progress achieved at the seaside end of Sackville Road earlier this year, have met gas company bosses to extract assurances of a speedier, more robust approach from next month.
