Wealden DC Uckfield High Street Latest News
The latest update from Wealden District Council, states:
“25 July 2025
We are now entering the next stage of scaffold safety works on the frontage of the unsafe building on Uckfield High Street.
The current scaffold design is being modified to create a narrower arrangement that sits entirely within the pavement. This updated design includes both internal and external scaffolding and means there will no longer be a need to restrict vehicle access to the road.
Subject to final safety checks and weather conditions, work will begin on Tuesday 29 July and continue for up to three weeks. The timetable includes:
Access to the building for ongoing structural inspections will be maintained, and the scaffold will remain sealed and weather-tight. Importantly, the new design will mean there is no need for a full road closure, and the next stage of works can take place inside the existing fencing.
If all goes to plan, we expect the High Street to fully reopen to traffic towards the end of the week beginning 4 August – most likely around 8 or 9 August.
A further update will be provided as soon as the road reopens. In the meantime, thank you once again for your continued patience”
