County Councillor HPC Meeting Report:
Both County and District Councillors often give reports at the monthly HPC meetings and this month Cllr Harvey (our County Councillor) gave a written report on White Dirt Lane and other highways issues which follows:
As most of you will know by now, the scheme for White Dirt Lane has now been decided by the portfolio holder Cllr Sean Woodward.
I do realise that there are many people who do not agree with the decision, but there are just as many who are happy with it. Whatever happens, I think that this scheme will make the lane safer.
Work still continues on Victory Avenue and hopefully when that is completed, those who were unhappy with the scheme, will also realise that it was essential work that needed doing.
Footways are now being looked at and if you have any footways that need attention, then please contact me and I will pass it on to the appropriate officer.
I have spoken to the officer about traffic calming on Catherinton Lane and it is in the programme to be done in this financial year. There is still a lot of work to be done to get the scheme right and hopefully the public will get involved with the consultation.
Things are changing at HCC as far a schemes are concerned and the way they are going to be addressed. I will keep you in the loop about this as soon as it becomes clear.
Please let me know if you have any matters that need attention by contacting me on marge.harvey@hants.gov.uk

Hi Guy, thank you for the update – always appreciated, may I asked if any traffic calming measures are being planned for Five Heads Road as it has become more dangerous over the last few years with drivers (trucks and cars) paying no attention to speed limits, pedestrians or horses, especially now with the impeding changes to White Dirt Lane which has a number of similarities (narrow lane, winding lane, hedgerows and limited footpaths). Many thanks Lee.
Hi Guy, Is there any news on the potential traffic calming for Lovedean Lane which we understood would be available this year? Thanks Sue
Hi Lee, Sue,
I am not aware of any planned improvements and share your concern that diverting traffic from WDL means a little more on Five Heads Roaf (which I tend to avoid personally). Cllricarr Schillemore and L Evans are the District Councillors for Five Heads Road and Cllr Schillemore for Locedean Lane. They should be able to help lobby for improvements, and you could contact Cllr Marge Harvey, our County Councillor on Marge.harvey@hants.gov.uk as this is very much her role.
I hope this helps. Guy.
What was the final decision?
