Roads

Today, Wednesday 21/10/26 0830 I have again reported the 'subsidence' cracks on the Salisbury direction carriageway at Dunwood Hill, Hampshire Highways reference 21921302. Given the change in weather from extreme dry drought to torrential rain and increasing widening of these cracks on the steep side of a hill, I am concerned about partial road collapse. perhaps with little warning. The area has been marked up. I have asked for proposed repair plan and what studies have been done on the bank itself.... given today rain, 🤞for some answers soon and that the bank remains stable.

Southern Water have informed us that they are now planning to restart our work at Dunwood Hill on 11 January 2027. It seems that they have been listening to us after all:

"We've reviewed our plans and revised our approach to help reduce disruption. Instead of a full road closure, we'll now complete the work in smaller sections using temporary traffic lights.

We'll also be holding another drop-in event during December, giving you the opportunity to meet the team, find out more about the project and ask any questions you may have. Full details will be included in a letter."
