Work is scheduled to start on October 22, and is expected to take up to five days, subject to the weather.

Approximately 75 metres of Broad Street will also be resurfaced, from its junction with the High Street.

A spokesman for the council said: “The current road surface is deteriorating and difficult to maintain. The long-lasting replacement will be strong, less vulnerable to potholes and the need for frequent and disruptive small repairs.

“The High Street will be resurfaced between Broad Street and London Road and will be closed to through traffic.

“This type of work, in a busy village centre, inevitably causes disruption. However, every effort is being made to try to minimise the impact of the project for local businesses, residents and the wider, travelling public.

“This is why the works have been scheduled for school half-term week, when traffic volumes are generally lower.”

Work will take place between 8am and 8pm each day. An earlier phase in the project took place in the spring.

The High Street will be closed to through traffic, including buses, with a diversion in place via the A272 Cuckfield bypass, B2184 Broad Street/London Lane to re-join the B2036 London Road to the north of the road resurfacing project, and vice-versa.

Pedestrian access will be maintained to homes, shops and businesses, the council said.
