Please drive extra carefully this summer
We have now begun to welcome our summer school visitors to Sussex, who will be staying in campus residences until September.
Please take extra caution when driving on campus as large numbers of school visitors will be out-and-about during the day, especially on Refectory Road and North-South Road.
Drive especially slowly on campus roads, and be cautious of pedestrians crossing or walking nearby.
Refectory Road is closed until mid-July
The north end of Refectory Road (after the Student Centre), including the west-side pavement, is closed until Friday 10 July to facilitate preparation works for the demolition of the old Health Centre, following the opening of the new Health and Wellbeing Centre.
Pedestrian access has been moved to the east side of the road, parallel to the Student Centre.
There will be additional roadworks taking place on the road alongside Swanborough until mid-August. Pedestrian access to Swanborough and Fulton will remain available.

Abandoned bike tagging ends this week
The Estates team is identifying and tagging bicycles that appear abandoned this month, to ensure our bike racks are clear and available to use for staff, students and visitors.
If your bike is tagged and it is not abandoned, simply remove the tag and the bike will not be removed.
Bicycles that are still tagged after Friday 10 July will be removed. Please ensure you have removed any tags from your bike before this date, if not already.
