How do we help improve the condition of the local road network?
-
If you see a problem report it.
-
In order to ensure road problems, pot holes and other poor conditions are resolved they should be reported through the County Council websites. If they are reported then action may be more quickly taken and the more reports the more likely action will be taken. This point isn't made very clear or generally publicised but was pointed out by Cllr Heron at the recent Parish Council meeting.

Whitsbury Calendar
The next Village Show will be in 2020 and we wanted to do something different in preparation for that show which is to ceate a village calendar with photographs taken within the village boundary. The calendar will be for the calendar year 2021. So we would like to ask everyone in the village to get involved and submit a photograph or two taken around the village that encompasses something of the village feel, a village landmark or favourite village view. A flyer as shown below has been circulated to all houses in the village and a new e-mail account set up at calendar@whitsbury.com to send entries or ask questions.

Road Closure Whitsbury Road Fordingbridge
-
The temporary road closure is now in place on Whitsbury Road, Fordingbridge from Monday 21st March 2019 for 17 weeks, in order for Wessex Water to carry out sewer installation works. The works will be carried out in three phases and the alternative routes for diverted traffic will change as the works progress along the road. The three phases are shown in the Wessex Water plans below.
-
This will NOT take away access to Whitsbury from Fordingbridge but it does mean the stretch between Burnham Road and Pennys Lane will be fully closed in various stages. We will need to take diversions through the Burgate Housing estate.
-
Phase 1 appears to have completed a while ago and we are now into Phase 2
