I am sure that I recall a promise made several years ago that the next time the Lewes bypass was resurfaced, they would use a surface that produced less noise. Does anyone else recall this or know if it is being implemented?

I remember it being called part of the Folkstone to Honiton Trunk Road - we had our cabins in Hope in the valley - we renamed it after we saw a few courting couples there after the pubs shut .

I travelled around a bit but settled near Lewes . I like the area
