Local Issues

25 Jan

Plenty of local residents attended the event to launch the construction of Stubbington Bypass.

I am so pleased to have started this important project including many improvements to access for Fareham and Gosport in 2013 as Hampshire County Council Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment. I worked for the next few years to take it through the public consultation to the grant of planning permission. Then on to obtaining £34m of funding via government and Solent LEP

The Bypass will when completed in 2022 be the final piece in the package of measures I introduced including improvements to St Margaret’s Roundabout, dualling the A27 from Fareham to Segensworth, a new Newgate Lane South and improved Peel Common Roundabout.

All of these measures taken together improve traffic flows between Fareham and Gosport ands onwards to the M27 at junction 9 as well as assisting the important employment site Solent Enterprise Zone at Solent Airport, Daedalus

I was delighted to have a look over the first aircraft to be constructed in a Fareham Borough Council business hangar at Solent Airport, Daedalus It is a Britten-Norman Islander that will shorlty be ready for delivery.

Britten-Norman (BN) is a privately owned British aircraft manufacturer and aviation services provider. The company is the only independent commercial aircraft producer in the UK. Britten-Norman has sold more than 1,250 aircraft to customers in more than 120 countries.

Thank you to B-N Chief Executive William Hynett for showing me around hangars 5 and 6. I am pleased that thay are working well for you and that you have such a significant presence at our airport.
