A number of businesses on Rye High Street have just received a copy of the letter in the photograph informing of the impending road closure. The letter is from Southern Gas Networks (SGN) giving notice that they will be installing a new gas connection to the George Hotel as part of the rebuilding process.
A diversion will be put in place and the work is scheduled to start on Tuesday, February 1, the letter states the work is planned "to take two days, with all reinstatement being completed, and site cleared within three working days".
The diversion takes traffic from the High Street onto East Street and Market Street around Church Square onto West Street passing Lamb House then rejoining the High Street. The letter also confirms that "access for residents will be maintained"
Whilst this work may cause disruption for a few days it also means that when this new gas connection is completed we are one step closer to seeing the George Hotel reopening at long last. For further information on these works you can contact SGN customer services on 0800 912 1700.
