Forest Road Traffic Calming Measures

To reduce vehicular speeds along Forest Road.

Last update: June 2026

Scheme Overview

Works completed in October 2025.

Hampshire County Council has appointed Rocon Contractors Ltd who carried out the improvement works along Forest Road, Denmead. Three build-outs were constructed with the aim to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety. 

The works included;

  • installation of three build-outs 
  • installation of uncontrolled dropped crossing with tactile paving 
  • bus stop improvements 
  • painting of white lines 
  • signage. 
A consultation carried out by Denmead Parish Council sought residents' views on whether build-outs or pinch points should be implemented. The results showed a clear preference for the build-out option.

Please see the proposed improvement and location plan (MS Sway).

Please read the scheme background and trial information (MS Sway) document.

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.
