Road closure to Northfield and Lewes Court

Northfield Lane (next to Brighthelm and Lewes Court) will be closed from 8am on Wednesday 27 March, to 5pm on Thursday 28 March, to facilitate essential works for the imminent West Slope development.

This means no vehicle access into or out of Northfield or Lewes Court will be available during these works, excluding emergency services.

Please be aware of this if you drive or park in this area, as you will not be able to move your vehicle until these works are completed.

Southern Rail trials new app for the visually impaired 

Southern Rail are trialling a new app to support visually impaired passengers in twelve stations, including Brighton.

Aira is designed to provide visually impaired people with on-demand access to visual information, and increase their confidence to travel independently. The app connects the user to an on-call agent, who uses the phone's camera to support with reading information boards, providing navigational assistance within the station, or navigational support to find a member of staff.

The app is available now on Android and iOS. See more information via Southern Rail.

There are ongoing weeknight closures on both sides of the A27 between the Southerham and Beddingham roundabouts until Wednesday 27 March, between 8pm and 6am each night for resurfacing. A diversion is in place via the A26 and A22.
