Active Travel Fund; Dropped Kerbs

Improving accessibility and making it pleasant for the local community.

Last update: December 2024

Scheme Overview

The scheme aims to make it easier for pedestrians to get around Romsey and Chandlers Ford by adding informal crossing points. These include dropped kerbs with tactile paving along key routes. The focus is mainly on smaller junctions to improve accessibility. Currently, the lack of crossing points means pedestrians have to deal with high kerbs, which is difficult for people with pushchairs, limited mobility, wheelchairs, and mobility scooters. By making these changes, the scheme will greatly improve pedestrian facilities and ensure everyone can get around more easily.

The scheme is currently in the detailed design phase, with the start of work expected in Spring 2025.

Funding Arrangements
Funding for the transport capital delivery schemes is separate from the County Council’s revenue budget and savings proposals. In the majority of cases funding comes from external grants and / or Section 106 contribution from developers. This funding usually has conditions that strictly control on how, where and when it can be spent.
