Leigh Park Centre Environmental Improvements
|
Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County
Council are working in partnership on the preparation of
environmental improvement proposals for Leigh Park Centre,
Havant. The aim of the proposals is to support the centre so
that it provides:
- An attractive and busy centre for the community
- A positive impression for both residents and visitors
- An environment that is safe and accessible for pedestrians of
all ages and levels of physical ability and
- A place that residents can take pride in.
Leigh Park Centre is the focal point of Leigh
Park providing a range of well used facilities including shops,
leisure and business, and community amenities. However, there
are areas where it can be improved.
Recent development in the area means that
funding is now available to help carry out environmental
improvements in Somborne Drive and to improve facilities for
cyclists in the centre.

Consultation
Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County
Council held a consultation during the Summer 2009 asking local
people for their help to develop the initial ideas. The
possible improvements included street tree planting to Somborne
Drive, improvements to the pavements and opportunities for roadside
car parking, and a new crossing area for pedestrians between Lidl
and Park Parade. The ideas also featured new seats, litter bins and
cycle stands creating a welcoming and attractive entrance to the
centre.

works in 2010.
