Fleet to Greywell Fleet to Greywell Customer information event Project overview • 10 million investment into futureproofing the drinking water network • Planning to install 12 kilometres of water main between Fleet and Odiham • At present, the project is set to begin in June 2021 and be complete by April 2023 • New pipe will allow us to draw in water from other areas of the county to counter a predicted rise in demand in Odiham, Greywell and towns to the west – including Basingstoke. • Pipe will be laid predominantly along the highway, although some sections will involve digging in rural areas. A series of road closures will be required • Working closely with all of our stakeholders, customers and landowners to minimise disruption to businesses and the local community 2 The route • Following extensive consultation with our stakeholders, the selected route is deemed the one which will cause the least amount of disruption to the public and environment • The route will involve passing under a section of North Hants Golf Club. We investigated other options, but nearby roads are extremely congested with existing utilities and the ground conditions are not suitable. • Other routes would require road closures and would consequently have caused mass disruption to customers and commuters due to a long diversion route via Minley Road. 3 4 5 6 Work carried out so far • Undertaken ground investigations for entire route (trial holes and boreholes). • Undertaken environmental surveys for entire route (some ongoing) • Installed 1.8 kilometres of main between Greywell and Odiham – pipe already in commission • Discussions with local Highways authorities and engaged with North Hants Golf Club 7 Minimising disruption to motorists • The project involves a combination of traffic management methods including road closures • While we understand road closures are disruptive, we must protect the public and our workforce • Temporary traffic lights and stop/go boards will be used when it is safe to do so • We’re working closely with Hampshire County Council to minimise disruption to public transport routes 8 Minimising disruption to motorists • Updates on traffic management implementations/changes will be available on our dedicated webpage: corporate.southeastwater.co.uk/fleet • Customers can also receive updates via our interactive map text/email service • Updates via local media/social media • Stakeholders will receive regular email updates throughout the project to ensure you are in the loop • Further meetings can be arranged to discuss localised issues 9 Project timeline • The project will be split into three separate work streams in order for us to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible • Please note the 2021 2022 2023 following timeline is still considered to be in the planning phase and could change 10 2021 Location Start Date Approx Planned end Traffic Duration date management plans Poland Lane 14/6/21 10 days 25/6/21 Road closure Odiham 28/6/21 3 days 30/6/21 4-way lights Road crossing Bagwell 1/7/21 33 weeks 14/2/22 Road closure Lane South 11 2021 Location Start date Approx. duration Planned end date Traffic management plans Cove Road East of 5/7/21 6.5 weeks 6/9/21 Road Closure Ancells Roundabout Cove Road Ancells 7/9/21 3 weeks 28/9/21 Side road Roundabout closure/traffic lights Cove Road West of 29/9/21 4 days 4/10/21 Road closure Ancells Roundabout Attenborough Close 5/10/21 3 days 8/10/21 Stop and go boards Crossing Cove Road 11/10/21 20 days 5/11/21 Road closure Old Cove Road 8/11/21 3 days 11/11/21 Stop and go crossing Cove Road 11/11/21 Two weeks 26/11/21 Road closure Total Cove Road 5/7/21 21 weeks 26/11/21 Mixture of Road section Closure and traffic lights/stop go boards 12 2021 Location Start date Approx duration Planned end date TM plans Fleet Road 29/11/21 3 weeks 12/01/22 Road closure Bogs Road 13/01/22 2 days 14/01/22 Stop and go crossing Fleet Road 17/01/22 7 weeks 25/03/22 Road closure Total Fleet 29/11/21 16 weeks (will 25/03/22 Road closure Road section be a break and stop and over the festive go period) 13 2022 Location Start date Approx duration Planned end TM plans date Taplins Farm 10/1/22 3 days 13/1/22 4-way lights Road crossing Location Start date Approx duration Planned end TM plans date The Hurst 14/1/22 7.5 weeks 28/3/22 Road closure Location Start Date Approx Duration Planned end Traffic date management plans Bagwell Lane 25/2/22 3 weeks 22/3/22 Road closure North Total Bagwell 1/7/21 36 weeks 22/3/22 Road closure Lane section 14 2022 Location Start date Approx Planned end TM Plans duration date Elvetham 29/3/22 4 days 1/4/22 4-way lights Heath Way Elvetham 4/4/22 6 days 8/4/22 4-way lights heath way roundabout Elvetham way 10/5/22 25 weeks 31/10/22 Footpath footpath closure Total Elvetham 29/3/22 27 weeks 31/10/22 4 way lights and Heath Way footpath closure section 15 2022 Location Start date Approx Planned end TM Plans duration date Winchfield 23/3/22 11 weeks 15/7/22 Road closure Road Location Start date Approx Planned end TM Plans duration date Dunleys Hill 20/6/22 4 days 24/6/22 Road closure and traffic lights Location Start date Approx Planned end TM Plans duration date Pale Lane 18/7/22 10 weeks 31/10/22 Road closure 16 2022/23 Location Start date Approx duration Planned end date TM Plans Cove Road 11/10/22 12 weeks 10/01/2023 Road closure phase 2 (closed to allow drilling rig for golf course) 17 Cove Road diversion • Motorists will be diverted along Fleet Road, B3013 and A327 18 Fleet Road diversion • Motorists will be diverted along Reading Road North, A3013, B3013 and A30 19 Mitigating environmental impact • We consider ourselves to be guardians of the environment • All of our projects are planned to minimise environmental impact as much as possible • The scheme passes through two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) • Working closely with various stakeholder groups – including environmental groups. 20 Odiham Common with Bagwell Green and Shaw SSSI -

Pipe laying will be carried out using standard trenching methods and following national guidance on the installation of utilities near to trees. • Where required we would undertake trial excavations and have arboricultural supervision to further reduce any potential impact on trees 21 Basingstoke Canal SSSI (Work Scheduled 25/05/22 - 08/06/22) • The pipe will be installed using a trenchless method (Horizontal Directional Drilling) to cross beneath the canal.

  • Fleet to Winchfield
    Introduction Both Fleet and Winchfield have railway stations, with a frequent train service between them. There are also regular week day buses to Hartley Wintney. Always check the latest times at www.travelinesw.com. Parking is limited at both ends, particularly at the railway stations, although there is a public car park on the north east side of Fleet Pond. Part of this second section of the Brenda Parker Way, between Fleet and the Blackbushes Road, crosses land used by the Army at Aldershot but which has public access along many tracks and paths open to walkers but where there are few official public rights of way shown on the map. Defence Estates (Ministry of Defence, MOD) have given permission for the Brenda Parker Way to pass through this land on the basis that users understand that military training takes precedence over public access and that you may be asked by the military to make a deviation from the route. Walkers should read the note below and take a moment to read one of the official notices sited at the entrances to the military land. Users of the route should stay on the paths as they cross the training area. A consequence of the long-term military use is that a large area of land has been protected from development and the training area forms a significant part of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA). This is a habitat virtually unique in Europe, which explains its current high level of conservation protection. Of particular concern is possible disturbance of ground-nesting birds.
