MERCHANT NAVY DAY TUESDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER
Do join us on the Green at 9am this Tuesday 3rd September when we shall be flying the Red Ensign to honour the brave men and women who kept our ‘island nation’ afloat during both World Wars, and to celebrate our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers who are responsible for 95% of the UK’s imports, including half the food we eat, plenty of the fuel we burn and virtually all the products and goods we take for granted!

ROADWORKS 1 FURZEY LANE TO CLOSE 2-4 SEPTEMBER
Please note from the map below taken from www.roadworks.org that it looks as if Furzey Lane will be closed from 2nd to 4th September, possibly for fencing work. Hampshire Highways have confirmed there will be diversions put in place on the road closure and that the work should only take 3 hours. The diversion route will be via the Study Centre, School Lane.
ROADWORKS 2 A337
We have received the following information about work along the A337:
Carriageway resurfacing work will take place to Romsey Road (A337) from Wellands Road to just north of Hampshire Police Station between 3 and 20 September.
The works will be carried out in two phases:
From 3 September for 10 days, between the hours of 09.30 – 16.00, pre-resurfacing works will be carried out using two-way traffic lights. No work will take place over the weekend.
From 16 September for 4 nights, between the hours of 20.00-06.00, the road will be closed for resurfacing. The road will be open during the day.
These timescales are weather dependent. Any significant changes to the schedule will be added to the yellow sign boards on the roadside. Vehicle access to properties in the area of the works cannot be guaranteed during the works, however pedestrian access will always be available.
For further information or to report a problem you can contact Hampshire Highways on 0300 555 1388.
Well, that’s got September off to a good start hasn’t it?
The Parish Council is informed sometimes (but not always) by the relevant Authority (e.g. Highways England, HCC), rumour and jungle drums about details of impending roadworks in our area. When we receive such information we will pass it on via this weekly eNewsletter, via a special email if appropriate and on Facebook. Other sources of roadworks information can be found by visiting https://roadworks.org/.
