Operation Resilience – W720 – Littleton Lane

Operation Resilience – W720 – Littleton Lane, Littleton – Advance Scheme Notification – Haunching

Following on from the haunching works that were carried out last year, some minor remedial works on Littleton Lane from Church Road to Stud Lane are now required. I would like to reassure you that the costs to carry out these works will be paid for by the contractor.

The works are programmed to start on 11 April 2017 and are expected to last for 2 working days. In order to undertake the works safely it will be necessary to close the road during which time access for residents and businesses will be limited.

Information signs advising road users of the works will be erected approximately 1 weeks before the start of works. A letter will be sent to local residents and an email will be sent to Crawley, Littleton and Harestock Parish Council, to advise them accordingly.

Should you have any questions or require further information please contact the Operation Resilience team on 01962 813063 or email operation.resilience@hants.gov.uk

Traveller Local Plan – Initial Consultation

Winchester City Council has commenced preparation of its traveller site allocations local plan, following completion of two key pieces of evidence during 2016 – a Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment undertaken by Opinion Research Services and an initial site assessment undertaken by Peter Brett Associates. Both of these studies can be viewed at http://www.winchester.gov.uk/planning-policy/gypsy-and-traveller-development-plan/.

Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan • Winchester City Council
www.winchester.gov.uk
The Council has started work on its Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) which will allocate sites as necessary to meet identified …

Two calls for sites have not revealed any new sites and the Council is therefore looking at all options to be able to respond to the identified accommodation needs of travellers which are :-15 pitches for  gypsies and travellers and 24 plots for travelling showpersons, in the period 2016 – 2031.

The Council has therefore devised a short consultation to seek views from a variety of sources to aid its consideration of the options available and to explore if other alternatives exist which have not previously been identified.

The consultation can be accessed at https://winchester.citizenspace.com/policy-and-planning/traveller-local-plan Traveller Local Plan – Initial Consultation – Winchester City Council – Citizen Space

Update: Operation Resilience Works

Following on from the haunching works that were carried out earlier this year on Littleton Road from Church Road, Crawley to Stud Lane, Littleton. At the time we were unable to complete these as we had to cancel the works due to the inclement weather and then not being able to obtain the road space in the programme. We have therefore reprogrammed the works to commence on 06 March 2017 and these are expected to last for 5 working days. In order to undertake the works safely it will be necessary to close the road during which time access for residents and businesses will be limited.

Information signs advising road users of the works will be erected approximately 2 weeks before the start of works. A letter will be sent to local residents and an email will be sent to Crawley, Littleton and Harestock Parish Council, to advise them accordingly.

Should you have any questions or require further information please contact the Operation Resilience team on 01962 813063 or email operation.resilience@hants.gov.uk

National Cyber Crime Survey

1

The City of London Police, in partnership with Get Safe Online, has put together a National Cyber Crime Survey.

Its purpose is to learn about people’s awareness of online safety and experiences of cybercrime, with a view to improve our knowledge and understanding and to help provide a better response to victims.

The results will help police forces gain a better idea of the challenges they are facing.

If you have a spare 15 minutes, we would be grateful if you could complete a short questionnaire. The link can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CybercrimeSurvey2016

telephone boxes

Littleton Red Telephone Box – gone for good?

BT states that the overall use of payphones has reduced by more than 90% in the last decade and the need to provide payphones for emergency situations is falling, with at least 98% of the UK having either 3G or 4G coverage.

BT advises that as long as there is network coverage, it is possible to call emergency services even when there is no credit or no coverage from your own mobile provider.

On 27 September 2016, BT posted a notice on the Littleton payphone proposed for removal, advising of their proposals. Under Ofcom regulations, WCC now has responsibility for carrying out a consultation with the local community on BTs proposals.

We are therefore seeking your comments on the proposed removal of any of the public payphones.

We would emphasise that you should be aware that BT requires justification for any objection made to the removal of a payphone. For example, there may be no mobile coverage in a particular area; the payphone may be well used by residents or the passing public; or it may be located close to an accident blackspot. Unfortunately the last recorded use of this payphone by BT was in 2012.

Any comments should be made to: planning@winchester.gov.uk
