Park Road North, Havant
Work was carried out in 2008 on a new 'Growth Point' scheme to
improve the street environment on Park Road North, between West
Street and the railway bridge.
The work consisted of two parts, with the first phase being the
provision of decorative railings facing the Central Retail
Park (follow this link for more details, and more
information about the Growth Point programme generally). The
second phase was the provision of standard pedestrian railings
south of the Elm Lane traffic lights, upgrading the footpath
in Boys Brigade Gardens along with a new footbridge over the Lavant
Stream, widening and resurfacing the footpath on the west side of
Park Road North to allow its future use as a shared footway /
cycleway (forming part of the main route between Portsmouth and Havant
via Broadmarsh); and resurfacing the footpath a short distance
into Elm Lane. A plan of the work carried out is
available through this link (PDF, 960kb) >>.
The overall project included upgrading lighting columns between
Solent Road and New Road roundabout with a new standard design
which includes fabric banners which can be changed to advertise
events or to give a seasonal message.
