Parts of A27 'impassable' in Sussex due to snow amid weather warning
Parts of the A27 in Sussex remain ‘impassable’ due to snow and ice this morning (Thursday, January 9).
Snowfall across Sussex caused significant delays to motorists last night (Wednesday), with some road users even abandoning their vehicles due to the weather.
The A27 in Brighton was gridlocked, and some caught in the traffic have reported journeys to neighbouring towns taking between three and five hours.

Woodbourne Avenue, Patcham (both ways from Larkfield Way to Beechwood Avenue);
