Two roads have been closed in the Eastbourne area because of burst water mains, a resident has said.

The AA said Eastbourne Road in Westham has been closed in both directions due to a burst water main between Rattle Road and Hobney Rise by the level crossing.

An AA spokesperson added: “Traffic would have to divert via Stone Cross or Pevensey Bay.”

The incident happened early this morning (Tuesday, February 7), according to a resident.

Wealden District Council said: “We are aware of a burst water main this morning and understand South East Water contractors are working at the site to resolve the issue.”

A resident said Enys Road near Carew Road is also closed because of a burst water main.

South East Water’s head of operations for Sussex Matthew Dean said: “We are sorry for the inconvenience caused while we repaired a five-inch diameter burst water main. The repair was completed at 1.25pm on the same day, and the road has been reopened.

“While we know roadworks and leaks can be frustrating, with the amount of pipework and joints on our network, it is inevitable some will leak or burst.

“If you see a leak please report it on our live map on our website"
