Seriously, how long does it take to put a 2m square bit of pavement in and a couple of flashing posts? 4 WEEKS????? please tell me you're having a laugh.
Just took me nearly 40 minutes to get from the Landport turning (where the traffic was tailed back to) to Tescos

However, it is much easier to get into Lewes from the A26 and Earwig Corner.

And trying to cross Brooks Road or Church Lane when you're walking is a complete nightmare at rush hour. Soon back to normal though

Yesterday's fiasco was partly cause by a certain builders merchant's large flat bed parked up and causing a chicane on Brooks Road. Why it is allowed I don't know, especially considering the Police HQ is just up the road. Lord knows how many lazy PC's must have driven past it. I saw two. The kettle must have been on.

Brooks Road is an industrial estate. For loading of commercial vehicles.
The Malling estate is a residential area- for residents and visiting tradesmen to park. Not office workers at the Police HQ.

I agree with Old Maling. It's been a nightmare to cross Brooks Road or Church Lane at rush hour. Even when back to normal it needs a proper pedestrian crossing. Spare a thought for what people in Malling Hill and Malling Street have to put up with, especially as the new crossing isn't yet in service...
