Minutes:

 

Mr Tilbury and Mr Hughes introduced the report.

 

Mr Hughes explained that Lisa Turley from Grainger was unable to attend the meeting due to illness.

 

Arising out of consideration of the item relating to the commencement of works on the southern access, Forum members asked questions on the timing of the opening of the southern access from Purbrook to the Taylor Wimpey development in the context of the commencement of the proposal by AQUIND to install the high voltage ‘interconnector’ cable as part of a national infrastructure project.

 

Concerns were raised that the timing of works could lead to the Purbrook to Taylor Wimpey development access being used as a shortcut for vehicles trying to avoid disruptive installation works.  This might alter driver behaviour on a long term basis and increase traffic flows through the development.  A member commented that the delays caused by the recent felling of trees by the Ladybridge Roundabout gave an indication of the disruption that could arise.  It was pointed out that a ‘cross country’ route for AQUIND works could avoid very extensive works on the public highway and reduce the scope for disruption.

 

The officers advised that meetings had been held between Grainger, Southwick Estates and AQUIND.  AQUIND appeared to wish to deal with one public body that had authority to provide them with the necessary permits and access they required.  The Forum could make representation to Hampshire County Council for them to give reassurance concerning methods to mitigate the impact of the works on traffic movements and also a submission could be made to the Planning Inspectorate as part of the proposal’s consultation.

 

It was noted that AQUIND would be attending a meeting of the Southwick and Widley Residents Association’s Annual General Meeting to be held on the 28 November at 7.15 pm.

 

A member stated that the traffic issues relating to the stretch of highway between Hambledon Road and the Denmead roundabout remained to be resolved.  An overall strategy was required and these matters had been raised with the Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council.  A member further commented that a traffic movement strategy was required for the Havant area including Hambledon Road.  Mr. Tilbury stated that on behalf of the Forum a letter would be sent to Councillor Humby and Stuart Jarvis (Director of Economy, Transport and Environment) at Hampshire County Council to express the Forum’s concerns at this issue and that traffic be considered on a coordinated basis as a whole.

 

It is also stated by a member that the shoulders on Darnel Road had been included as a temporary measure during construction but had now been made permanent and this had led to car parking within them.  Mr. Tilbury stated that this situation could be reviewed when Hampshire County Council came to adopt the highway as representation could then be made by Newlands Parish Council as to whether the shoulders should be removed or retained.

 

In addition, it was raised that the access route  ...  view the full minutes text for item 6.
