Major half a million pound works in village completed early
South East Water (SEW) started construction work in Alfriston on January 2, which meant the area’s popular and busy high street had to be closed to through traffic so a 600 metre long pipeline could be laid.
Chairperson of Alfriston Parish Council Jen Watkins said, “It is fantastic news the work has completed so early. SEW’s employees have been incredibly helpful, friendly and polite at all times and on behalf of the council I would like to thank them for all their hard work.”
