Park Road Growth Point Improvements Project
Havant Borough Council was sucessful in attracting Growth Point

initiative is designed to provide support to local communities who
wish to pursue large scale and sustainable growth, through a
partnership with the government.

The enhancement works included:
- Resurfacing of pedestrian foot-ways
- Rationalisation of unnecessary street clutter
where possible
- Replacement of pedestrian guard rails
- Extension of decorative railings to
match those at Havant Park Entrance on opposite side of road.
- Introducing new planting to enhance
the ‘boulevard’ effect
- New decorative street lighting and banners to
highlight the approaches to Havant Town Centre
- Landscape improvements to Boys Brigade
Gardens including new footbridge over the Lavant Stream
The aim of this project was to turn a
stretch of Park Road from a bypass that is uninviting to
pedestrians and acts as a barrier between two parts of the town
into a more welcoming street that encourages activity and movement.
It links development and substantial car parking on the west of the
town to the main core of the town on the east. The
improvements have created a safer and more attractive environment
for pedestrians.
