A car and a cyclist have reportedly been involved in a collision at Preston Park in East Sussex, on Highcroft Villas both ways at Dyke Road. There are reports of queueing traffic, as a result.

Whatlington Road, near Battle, is reportedly closed for emergency repairs this morning. It comes after a telegraph fell on the road. The road has been blocked both ways between A21 and the railway bridge since early on Sunday morning.

In Worthing, ‘severe delays’ have been reported on Crockhurst Hill eastbound between A27 Arundel Road and A27 Upper Brighton Road.

On the railway line, a signalling fault was reported between Haywards Heath and Brighton in the early hours of the morning.
