After 11 bursts in five years, South East Water is planning a project to upgrade 1.3 kilometres of old pipe in Borde Hill Lane near Cuckfield to reduce the risk of homes and business in the area going without tap water in the future.

The work will be taking place between the junction of Copyhold Lane and a point 400 metres north of River’s Road, just south of Upper Rylands Bridge. 

Access to all businesses along Borde Hill Lane, such as Borde Hill Garden, will be maintained at all times. Work starts on 11th January and will last approximately 18 weeks. The diversion route will be clearly signposted and take motorists through Haywards Heath, Cuckfield and Balcombe.
