West Sussex road closed amid burst water main - National Trust site access 'remains open'

Homes in and around Balcombe were left with low water pressure, or no water at all, this morning (Saturday, August 8).

At 11.52am, South East Water confirmed it had restored water to some customers, leaving 63 properties without supplies.

Sheffield Park and Gardens, run by the National Trust, said the A275 near Bluebell Railway had closed due to a burst pipe.

In a social media post, a spokesperson for the park told visitors to ‘go through Fletching’ to access the site.

South East Water confirmed ‘access to Sheffield Park Gardens remains open’.
