High Street (Google Streetview)
Hampshire County Council is developing proposals for a new pedestrian crossing on High Street in Twyford, and HCC would welcome your feedback to help shape the design. They would appreciate any comments or local knowledge you feel could help as the proposals are developed.
The proposals aim to make it safer and easier for people to cross High Street, particularly children, older people and people walking, using a wheelchair or mobility scooter. They would also help improve walking links between Twyford village, Shawford railway station, Hunter Park and the South Downs National Park.
The current preferred option includes a new traffic light-controlled Puffin crossing near the southern arm of Queen Street, together with pavement widening, localised road narrowing, accessible crossing facilities and other associated highway improvements.
Full details of the proposals are available on the scheme webpage: www.hants.gov.uk/transport/transportschemes/twyford-high-st-ped-crossing
