The council has received further information from the consulting company who are managing the installation of a new 33Kv cable from the Three Maids Hill Solar Park to the substation off Stockbridge Road.  

In order to carry out the works they have applied for two road closures for through traffic as follows: 

Stud Land 

This road will be closed in two phases between 29^th June 2022 and 9^th September 2022. The first phase is almost complete, and the council understand this road will be re-opened on 1^st August whilst Main Rd is closed. 

Main Rd 

From Monday 25^th July, part of Main Road will be closed for through traffic from the Kennel Lane/Deane Down Drove/Main Rd junction (near the brick bus stop) to Stockbridge Rd. It will continue to be open from the bus stop junction to the north of the village, and there will be a diversion via Harestock Rd and Kennel Lane. Deane Down Drove will remain open throughout the works. 

From Monday 1^st August, the full extent of Main Rd will be closed for through traffic, and Stud Lane will be opened up.  Access will be available to residents, to the Running Horse public house and the Recreation Ground at all times. Signs will be available that indicate how to access the Running Horse and the Recreation Ground depending on where the Main Rd road works are located at any one time. 

Buses 

The council have been informed that the no 7 bus that travels through Deane Down Drove will operate throughout the works, however the no 16 will be stopped from Monday 25^th July for the full extent of the works.  

The road contractors have arranged for a replacement taxi-share service for the no 16 on Monday-Friday twice a day as follows: – 

9:25   Out (to Winchester)      11:40 Return 

12:00 Out (to Winchester)      14:05 Return

The council has received information from the consulting company who are planning the installation of an electrical connection from the Three Maids Hill Solar Park to the substation off Stockbridge Road. The route of the connection will be via Stud Lane and Main Road, Littleton.

In order to carry out the works they have applied for two road closures for through traffic, one on Stud Lane between 27th June and 9th September 2022, and another on Main Road between 11th July and 9th September 2022. The dates overlap but they need to traverse both roads – Main Road and Stud Lane twice. we have been told that there will only ever be one road closed at any one time.

The road closures are to stop through traffic. It is their intention that residents will have access at all times. Within each road closure they will use barriers and ‘Give and Take’ signs to control residential traffic.

They will contact residents directly with more information, and will also be keeping affected residents up to date as work progresses.

National Highways are making improvements to the safety barriers between junctions 9 and 14 of the M3. The work will start between junction 12 and 14 from 6^th June. For more information, please see below:
