If you live in Peacehaven or Saltdean and need to use your car for work, your kind of screwed this week. Not only temp traffic lights at Rottingdean, some bright spark has decided to put some at Kwik Fit in Newhaven too

Some years ago, I read that when you see an uptick in roadworks in March, it will be because councils want to spend their remaining budgets set aside for
roadworks, before the end of financial year*.

I don't know if the same applies to motorways and highways etc.

* pothole repairs are presumably not included in any planned or forecast expenditure and are therefore chucked over the fence into the next tax year.

That is actually … true.

Otherwise money is lost from the budget, it cannot be carried forward.

Really enjoyed it going down to one lane on the A23 today, a load of cones and zero work going on.
