Contractors began works on site in January
2011 along Somborne Drive. Here the works comprise the provision of
better on-street parking in marked bays along the western (Park
Parade and Greywell) side, with street tree planting, new paving
and street furniture and a new enlarged Zebra crossing linking to
the Eastern side (LIDL store side).

There are 3 other new crossings linking the
Greywell pedestrian entrance to the east side, at the north near to
the Crown Bingo Hall and an improved crossing at the south near to
Stockheath Road. The eastern side will also be improved with tree
planting along the northern (Crown Bingo) section and repaving in
some sections.

Following these works they will move onto Dunsbury Way where
cyclists will see improved cycle facilities with a part on road
part off-road cycleway from the north into Park Parade. The total
works on both sites are anticipated to take around 16
weeks.

Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County
Council are working in partnership to implement these environmental
improvement proposals. 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 in a place
that residents can take pride in.
Recent development in the area means that the
funding is available to help carry out these works.
