Footpath from Snowhill to East Head to be closed during flood defence works
West Sussex County Council has made a Temporary Closure Order to protect public safety whilst flood defence work is undertaken by the Environment Agency.
The Order will come in to operation on 16th April and is likely to last until August.
The Order reads as follows:
