Heard the A272 at Piltdown was abit of a nightmare afterwards with cars dumped on the side of the road and people walking all over it. Not exactly safe, accident waiting to happen me feels.

I totally agree with BonfireBoy the A272 was an accident waiting to happen.  Sad  As I left there were cars on every verge both sides of the road and people all over the place. Getting out from Fletching was fantastic though  Very Happy

Fantastic night at Fletching as usual. Great fireworks and a nice big bonfire.only complaints I heard was raw burgers from the Firecracker Inn Exclamation


Yep my raw burger went in the bin. when I went to complain they took it off me and gave it back. Hence the bin treatment. Otherwise a great night.

Yes the A272 was madness on the way out. How all them jay walkers in the road didnt get hit, is beyond me. Certainly needs to be looked at for next year as drivers still fly down there dispite it now being a 40mph limit.

If any one has any ideas on how we can stop public turning up late, hence the main road parking we would be most grateful, we had to stop entry into the village after 6.30 as this is when our procession lines up and we need the marhsals back in the village, we will address this next year but coming up with a solution is not easy.  SORRY about the burgers we shall have a word !

I totally agree with what you had to do Rich Rookie. i don't think there is an easy solution to the problem of parking on the main A272. Most of us bonfire types know what to expect when leaving an event. The only thing that springs to mind is maybe getting Mr Plod to possibly stick no parking cones on the A272. It's certainly something that I think is beyond Fletching's control and at the end of the day where people dump there cars isnt really your problem, unless its inside your exclusion zone.

Could anyone tell us if the road was as bad as East hoathly's parking?
As they have parking doubled up on by pass, on the roundabouts and on the center chevrons .

many thanks  Wink
