The Council has been concerned about the dangerous road, the C9, particularly with the possible development at Bottom Pond Farm with the new exit onto the road.
A meeting with Hampshire County Council, Winchester City Council and local residents and the following improvements have been agreed to start in June this year.
Work to include: Resurfacing of the C9 from Winchester to White Flood Farm to aid skidding resistance.
Cutting back the vegetation at the Hazeley Road junction to improve visibility and installing additional warning signs.
Erecting signs to alert traffic to the dip between Honeymans Lane and the Longwood Crossroads. Installing two VAS signs.
One northbound near the Longwood Crossroads flashing “60mph slow down” and one southbound before the steep bends prior to White Flood Farm flashing “30mph slow down”.
Advisory 20mph speed plates to be erected on the left hand bend east of White Flood Farm for northbound traffic.
The Councillors are grateful for parishioners support to reach this conclusion. We now need to ensure that all the above is installed, at a cost of 75k. |
