Hampshire County Council appointed M Group Highway to carry out improvements works on Brookley Road which were completed in June 2025. Please see the visuals of these improvements.

Work to deliver essential repairs to the highway drainage system on Brookley Road in Brockenhurst, alongside cycling and walking improvements, have now been completed on schedule.

The benefits of this scheme consists 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.

Scheme improvements included;

  • Repaired road drainage system;
  • Raised section of the road on Brookley Road has been built;
  • New traffic bollards have been installed to mark the vehicle route through the raised area and tactile (bumpy) paving has been installed to aid visually impaired pedestrians;
  • New continuous footways have been constructed 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. Pedestrians now have priority when using these footways;
  • Block paving has been installed outside Tesco and ties into the existing environment in front of the Terrace.
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.
