Hampshire County Council have appointed M Group Highway to carry out improvements works on Brookley Road. These works have been carefully coordinated to include essential drainage repairs alongside the construction of new Active Travel infrastructure.
The benefits of this scheme will consist of a repaired road drainage system, better crossing environment for pedestrians and a raised area for community events in the village and to encourage drivers to reduce their speed.
Works start on 22 April for approximately eight weeks, works will be undertaken day time and night time.
Scheme improvements include;
- A repaired road drainage system;
- Build a raised section of the road on Brookley Road;
- Install new traffic bollards to mark the vehicle route through the raised area and installation of tactile (bumpy) paving to aid visually impaired pedestrians;
- Create new continuous footways over two junctions near the raised area, across the entrances to both the Tesco and Brookley Road car parks on either side of Brookley Road, as this will give priority to pedestrians using the footways;
- Install block paving outside Tesco to tie in with the existing environment in front of the Terrace.
A section of Brookley Road, in the carriageway immediately outside Tesco, will temporarily be closed for the duration of the works and parking bays suspended. Please see the exact location and traffic management details by visiting one.network. Diversion signs will be in place to direct visitors to Brookley Road to the two ends of the street.
During the construction works on Brookley Road, both the Tesco car park and Brookley Road car park will need to be closed at different stages. This is necessary to ensure the safety of both the operatives and the public.
Please note that the works are weather dependent and may need to be re-arranged at short notice in the event of adverse weather.
- Scheme Overview
-
Hampshire County Council is committed to creating better spaces for people to be able to walk and cycle in and around our towns more easily. The County Council has successfully secured funding from the Government’s Active Travel Fund to deliver a number of measures across the county which support this commitment. The views of local residents and stakeholders are important in shaping the measures to ensure they meet with the needs of the local community.
In 2020, temporary measures were introduced on Brookley Road to support social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic. The County Council consulted with local people in 2021 on proposed measures to improve the temporary social distancing measures. Taking into account this feedback, we have worked with the Parish Council to develop a new scheme which builds on the supported measures.
The aim of these measures is to improve quality of life and wellbeing through an enhanced public space and enable increased walking and cycling in Brockenhurst.

- 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.
