Burst water main causes traffic disruption on A259 in Bexhill

The AA said the road was partially blocked with slow traffic in both directions near Ravenside Retail and Leisure Park.

South East Water said the burst main had also led to low water pressure or no water for some customers in the area.

A spokesperson for the water company said: “We're really sorry to those of you who are experiencing low water pressure or no water at the moment.

“This has been caused by a burst main which we are trying to fix as quickly as we can. As soon as the repairs have been completed, your water will return to normal.

“Please be rest assured we're doing everything we can to get you back up and running as soon as possible.”

Motorists travelling along the A259 in the area are advised to expect delays while repair work takes place.
