Following pressure from residents and local organisations, Fareham Labour Party is pleased that Tory Hampshire County Council has finally agreed to maintain the access to Whiteley via Yew Tree Drive open on a permanent basis, following the successful conclusion of the trial which took place earlier this year.
This access is a badly needed measure to cope with the traffic congestion around Segensworth and junction 9 of the M27 which has on occasions led to gridlock in Whiteley.
We also welcome the progress made towards approval of the construction of a bypass around Subbington and the proposals for improvement works in the coming years for the busy St Margarets roundabout and the A27 route between Segensworth and the Titchfield gyratory. These measures to ease traffic congestion in Fareham Borough will be welcomed by residents who suffer delays in their daily journeys.
