I was travelling south on the B20208 into Lindfield this morning at about 0740. There is visible surface ice around the 30mph boundary. However, at the top of the hill by the junction to Old Place Farm there is black ice on which my scooter skidded. I was thrown over the handlbars. Fortunately I was only doing 20mph. No injuries. Can you do something about running water that frequently cross the carraige way on this hill please. Empty drains so they can receieve water, clean ditches to stop water flowing into the carraigeway. Put new drains in. All this also applies to the Hortsted Keynes to Lindfield road that has tonnes of runnign water on it despite the recent works near the waterworks.
