Timsbury to Romsey Accessibility Improvements

Supporting healthier lifestyle choices, making it safer and pleasanter for all.

Last update: June 2026

Latest update

Hampshire County Council appointed Rocon Contractors Ltd to undertake highway investigation works on Yokesford Hill, Romsey which were completed in January 2026. These works included digging trial holes and taking core samples to determine the road construction, as well as carrying out drainage surveys in the existing carriageway, verge and footway.

Scheme Overview

Sustrans are working in partnership with Hampshire County Council and Test Valley Borough Council to design a safer route for walking, wheeling and cycling between Timsbury and Romsey.  A number of issues have been identified to address, such as missing pavements and vehicle speeds along the route.

The scheme design proposal would be to create a safe path along Yokesford Hill, Cupernham Lane and Belbins, separate from the road, and a signed route through quiet residential streets. The proposed route follows on from concept designs produced by Sustrans in September 2023.

The aims of the proposal;

  • Provide more space for people to cycle, walk and wheel;
  • Improve the local environment and air quality;
  • Increase accessibility to local shops and services for all.

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.
