Upper Street Junction Improvements, Fleet

Promoting Healthier Lifestyles and Safer Streets for All.

Last update: July 2025

Latest Update

Hampshire County Council appointed Clearview Surveys to undertake drainage investigation works in June 2025, which are now completed.

Scheme Overview

Safety improvements are planned at the junctions along Upper Street due to a poor safety record, with a number of collisions with some resulting in serious injuries.

To address this, the safety improvements will include:

Building raised areas at the junctions with Albert Street and Clarence Road;
Introducing one-way sections to reduce conflicting movements, reduce excessive speeds, and minimise collision risks;
These improvements aim to make Upper Street safer and more convenient for walking, wheeling, and cycling. By encouraging more people to make short trips on foot or by bike, we hope to improve access to the town centre from nearby residential areas, which incorporates Hampshire County Council's Local Transport Plan (LTP4).

Construction is expected to start in the summer of 2026.

Hampshire County Council completed the investigation highway works in mid April for two days.

The investigation works consisted of;

  • Trial holes; workers drilled small holes in the road to take out samples. These samples help them understand the road’s condition;
  • Topographical works, to survey and map the land's surface to inform construction.
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.
