  • Friends of Hockley Viaduct
    FRIENDS OF HOCKLEY VIADUCT NEWSLETTER 12 At last we patient aficionados have realised our dream – the Hockley Viaduct is now fully restored and has begun its new life as part of the National Cycle Route 23 between Reading and Sandown on the Isle of Wight. It is said that good things come to those who wait and this is certainly a good thing and we certainly have waited! So now, except for the signage and some more benches, the huge undertaking has been achieved. The numbers of people using the Viaduct, at all hours I may say, shows just what a popular move this restoration has been and how grateful we all are for the commitment of so many to this end. The official opening on February 26th was excellent and invited guests numbered well over 100. The World Champion cyclist Dani King, herself born and bred in Eastleigh, led over 50 cyclists on to the Viaduct to breast the red ribbon held by Mayor Frank Pearson and former Leader of the Council George Beckett. Dani was accompanied by several children from the Compton and the Highcliffe Primary Schools as well as older ones from Peter Symonds. Sustrans cyclists plus one or two brave City Councillors were pedalling bravely along behind! BBC TV South was there both at the pre-opening in the Guildhall and on the somewhat chilly Viaduct, and produced a good report for the evening’s regional news. The City’s project team had produced 6 excellent information panels for the Guildhall part of the event, and 4 speakers, including our Chairman Chris Webb, gave a short speech about their involvement.

  • The Friends of Hockley Viaduct
    CEC0024-02759 Hockley panel 1 Friends_Layout 1 20/02/2013 09:53 Page 1 The Friends of Hockley Viaduct The City of Winchester Trust had campaigned for over twenty years for the viaduct to be properly maintained and brought into public use. Former chairman Michael Carden commented: “We saw in the Hampshire Chronicle that the Army had agreed to a request from Winchester Council to blow up the viaduct as a training exercise.... I wrote on behalf of the Trust to Field Marshall Lord Bramall (of Bushfield)... he assured me that the Army would never act in a case like The Friends of this if the matter were locally controversial, so hockley viaduct the offer had been withdrawn. He finished his Group letter with the words ‘good luck with the defence of Winchester’.” In 2007 a local Friends of Hockley Viaduct Group was set up to lobby for the structure to be properly preserved and for its future to be properly planned. The Friends regularly took local leaders to see the structure, keeping it in the local media and eventually persuading the City Council to allocate £500,000 towards essential repairs. This sum has since been almost doubled by contributions from Hampshire County Council, from Government through Sustrans and from the LEADER rural funding programme in order to integrate the viaduct into National Cycle Route 23. The Friends also paid for the salvaging of the lattice mast signal from Network Rail following a tip-off from the South Western Circle, and are the signal base before George Beckett on supporting the next phase of the project which one of the visits to will see interpretation panels and other features the viaduct added to the route.

    CAB2311 FOR DECISION WARD: COMPTON & OTTERBOURNE & ST MICHAEL CABINET 11 APRIL 2012 NATIONAL CYCLE NETWORK ROUTE 23 – PROGRESS REPORT AND APPROVAL OF REPAIRS TO THE HOCKLEY VIADUCT REPORT OF HEAD OF ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE Contact Officer: Andy Hickman Tel:01962 848 105, Email: [email protected] RECENT REFERENCES: CAB1509 Hockley Viaduct - 19 September 2007. CAB2167 National Cycle Network Route 23 and the Hockley Viaduct - 6 July 2011 CAB2241 National Cycle Network Route 23 and the Hockley Viaduct Progress report - 9 November 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At its meetings in July and November 2011, Cabinet approved the proposal to incorporate the Hockley Viaduct into the final stretch of National Cycle Network Route 23 which links Reading through to the Isle of Wight. Members were also keen to ensure that the Route provided a car-free option for completing work journeys into Winchester from the Park and Ride South car park. The project has progressed well since this approval was given. However, following further structural assessment of the Viaduct (reported to Cabinet in November 2011), Members agreed in principle to progress urgently needed repairs. Cabinet authorised the appointment of Sustrans to carry out a tender process timed to ensure the works were completed within a tight ‘window’ designed to avoid harmful impacts on the local plantlife and wildlife. This report seeks authorisation from Cabinet to appoint the preferred contractors, and to release the necessary funds from the capital programme to take the works forward. In addition to providing a more general project update, the report also asks for authorisation for officers to initiate a tender process for the rest of the construction works required to complete the route, scheduled for the early autumn.

  • Sherfield on Loddon Non-Motorised User
    SHERFIELD ON LODDON NON-MOTORISED USER CONTEXT ASSESSMENT Project Name : Land North of Goddards Lane, Sherfield on Loddon Job No. : 18-240 Note Title : Non-Motorised User Context Assessment Author : TDM Approved : BM Date : February 2019 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Non-Motorised User (NMU) Context Assessment has been prepared in response to comments provided by Hampshire County Council (HCC) highways as statutory consultees to a Outline Planning Application (Ref 18/03486/OUT) for the residential development of up to 90 dwellings on land located north of Goddards Lane in Sherfield-on-Loddon . The Objective of this NMU assessment is to review the existing NMU provision and to identify any opportunities to improve conditions for pedestrians, disabled people, cyclists and where appropriate, equestrians. In lieu of guidance for this planning stage, and as agreed with HCC (see correspondence contained in Appendix A), this report has been prepared with reference to HCC guidance, Section 278 (S278) Technical Submission Requirements Appendix I Non-Motorised User Assessment. 2.0 SCHEME DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES The development proposals are for the erection of up to 90 residential dwellings with a new access being taken from Bow Drive. The proposed site access is shown on Drawing 18-240/001A. As part of the access arrangement, a dropped kerb crossing with tactile paving is to be provided within the bell mouth to aid NMU’s. The access scheme will allow for suitable radii within the bell- mouth, as well as a safe means of access for NMU’s. 3.0 EXISTING NMU INFRASTRUCTURE TDM/tdm/18-240-03 1 LAND NORTH OF GODDARDS LANE, SHERFIELD ON LODDON NON-MOTORISED USER CONTEXT ASSESSMENT The following section reviews the existing NMU network and describes how the site will become incorporated within the existing setting.
