Oil spill closes roads
Roads were closed around Rye after an oil spill on Wednesday, August 9. The cause was a coach which suffered a mechanical failure, losing a large amount of oil on Landgate and Rye Hill.
Sussex Police were called to the scene just after 3pm, closing the road between Bedford Place and Deadmans Lane shortly after to allow clean up. Further closures on Landgate began at 6pm. Police left the scene at 9:30pm.
Away from the oil spill, there have been long delays on the main road into Rye because of gas works on New Road.
