Boorley Green Traffic Calming

Hampshire County Council has been developing a range of measures to reduce the impact of increased vehicle journeys from the new Boorley Park development of 1,400 dwellings on the existing residents in Boorley Green and the surrounding villages.

The scheme proposes a range of small scale measures around Boorley Green with the aims of:

Reducing traffic speeds to support road safety;
Encourage more walking and cycling in the village;
Introducing more crossings.

The proposed measures include new uncontrolled crossing points, improvements to existing crossing points and buildouts with priority systems. Details of these proposals can be viewed in the information pack from the public engagement, and this map shows the location of each measure.

Following the feedback received during the 2023 public engagement, most of the measures proposed will be developed further with the aim of progressing each to delivery. The response to the engagement provided helpful insights and suggestions, and the measures will be amended in line with these comments.

Works expected to start late summer / autumn 2026, depending on the progression of the detailed design, contractor availability for construction and the scheme receiving formal approval for delivery.

The proposal at the Wallace Avenue and Maddoxford Lane junction will not be progressed due to a lack of public support, in addition to technical and practical concerns with the measure. This junction may be reassessed in the future and progressed as a separate scheme if a suitable solution is identified.

For updates on the Crows Nest Lane Modal Filter scheme, please visit the dedicated scheme webpage.

Public engagements for this scheme took place in 2017 and 2023.

The report summarises key findings from the feedback survey which took place from 16 October to 3 December 2023 . This engagement provided an opportunity for local residents and businesses to provide their views on the proposed improvement scheme. You can still view the information pack.

In 2017, a consultation was undertaken on a different set of traffic calming measures. These measures were not progressed to delivery and the scheme was placed on hold. The results of the feedback survey in 2017 are presented in the Boorley Green Traffic management proposals report. The information pack for this consultation can be viewed here: Boorley Green Consultation Presentation 2017.

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.
