About East Sussex

East Sussex attracts families, commuters and retirees to call East Sussex home. The seaside resorts of Bexhill-on-Sea, Eastbourne and Hastings welcome tourists during the summer months, adding to the traffic on the roads. There are no motorways in East Sussex so traffic relies on the network of smaller roads. 

The main roads through the county radiate out from London; the A21 runs to Hastings, the A22 to Eastbourne and the A23 to Brighton. The other main road is the A26 that runs from Newhaven and Lewes into Kent and the A259 trunk road connects Folkestone with Eastbourne before turning into the A27. The section of A27 between Eastbourne and Portsmouth has been named as one of the busiest trunk roads in the country. 

2011 figures show that 292,118 cars or vans are owned by households in East Sussex. This increases the demand for car parts as all cars need maintaining. This is an average of 1.3 vehicles per household, which would explain why all the major roads in the county suffer with congestion and slow moving traffic. 

Unfortunately, this level of traffic results in a high number of accidents. In 2013, the roads of East Sussex saw 1,295 crashes with 1,792 casualties. Out of this number, 339 were either killed or injured seriously, an 11% increase on the previous year. A notorious accident blackspot is the so-called “Death Mile”. This 1.5 mile stretch of the A27 was the location of some terrible accidents between 2000 and 2007. Places that have a high number of traffic accidents usually generate a greater demand for car and van parts. 

On a more positive note, car enthusiasts in East Sussex are treated to the biggest free motoring event on the south coast in Magnificent Motors, which takes place in Eastbourne. The county is also home to several car clubs including the East Sussex Morris Minor Club and the East Sussex MG Club. Car owners in the South East can use Breakeryard.com to source affordable used car parts in the area.
