Hide AdThe property has identified a section of the Petworth House boundary wall in need of urgent repair. The section is approximately located at the junction of Park Road and Market Square, opposite the Vagabond Antiques showroom.
In order to repair the wall on the town side Petworth Town Council will erect scaffolding for the duration of the works.
A road closure of a section of Park Road will be required during this time since the road is too narrow for traffic to pass safely and will be in place from January 30 to February 10.
The official diversion for northbound traffic during these dates is set out in the attached map, directing traffic arriving to Petworth from the west or south along Haslingbourne Lane until it meets the A283 at Egdean.

Southbound traffic travelling on Park Road is unaffected.
