Hampshire County Council have recently launched a survey to help them identify physical barriers to walking and wheeling, cycling and scooting. The survey, which is open until Sunday 22 December 2024, seeks feedback to help pinpoint locations where there are obstacles, such as bollards, that make getting around difficult for people, including those who have restricted mobility and need to use a mobility scooter, or for those pushing prams or riding adapted bikes for example.
https://www.hants.gov.uk/News/20241101SurveyWalkCycleBarriers The survey is quick to fill in and you can report multiple locations by submitting the survey and then commenting on another location. This follows some recent work in Chandlers Ford to remove barriers which has had really positive feedback and has improved access to schools, shops and local facilities. Examples of this work can be found on link above. This is a great opportunity to highlight all of the missing pedestrian crossing points, obstructions on footways, incorrect signage on the cycle network as well as highlighting missing tactile paving on walking routes and at crossing points for your area. From Monday 11th November to Friday 15 November, SGN contractors FPF Utilities Limited will replace the gas main on Grange Road, Netley Abbey.

These essential works involve replacing approximately 100m of old metal gas pipe with new plastic pipe to ensure we can continue to provide residents with a safe and efficient gas supply.
Due to the location of the gas main in the road, for everyone’s safety we’ll need to have two-way traffic lights in operation around our work location.

SGN Southern Replacement Today sees the launch of our annual survey looking at your experience of crime and your connection to your local community. The data from the survey goes into a report which we publish on the website, and use to help prioritise our work.
This year we're working with academic staff at the University of Northumbria who have provided some optional questions at the end of the survey related to health. This is linked to their studies on fear of crime and health outcomes. The survey takes about ten minutes to complete, and if you can spare the time, we really hope that you will make your views known to us - it really is appreciated!
