AN APPEAL for drivers to be patient during major road works disruptions around Segensworth has come from the town’s two Conservative County Councillors.
Work was starting on October 24 to widen the A27 between Segensworth roundabout and the Titchfield gyratory to 2 lanes in both directions. Councillor Chris Matthews said: ”I know there has been a lot of disruption to journey times with the Peel Common roundabout improvements and those between Gudge Heath Lane and the station roundabout but these improvements are vital for the local economy.”
The Conservative-led County Council, despite ongoing cuts in Government funding, is investing £90m in road improvements and, thanks to the hard work of local councillors, many improvements are being made locally. Councillor Peter Latham said: “This considerable investment in road maintenance and improvement demonstrates that we have the capacity to prioritise schemes which will ensure economic growth, improve journey times and road safety and provide better access to employment for people in the local area.”
