  • 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

    Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting Monday 20th March 7.30pm Heckfield Memorial Hall Present: Cllr Janice Hughes (JH) (Chairman); Cllr Bob Aylmer (BA); Cllr David Sexton (DS); Cllr Alan Woolford (AW). Clerk Susan Turner (ST) Guests: District Councillor Anne Crampton. Members of the public: 1 17.35 PubliC OPen SeSSiOn i A Hound Green resident expressed appreciation for the new benches etc on the Green and particularly the footbridge to Vicarage Lane. It was noted that Cllr Anne Crampton had been instrumental in approving the allocation of S106 funding. A separate dog waste bin was suggested for Hound Green, the current multi- purpose bin being close to the picnic table. ii A Vicarage lane resident emailed questions and concerns as unable to attend the meeting. ‘1. The speed of vehicles and lack of care in country lanes especially driving over banks and verges. Could Highways be persuaded to put in more passing spaces in Bottle and Vicarage Lanes?’ Parish Council comment: With cuts in Highways funding this is unlikely to be a priority. This is a question to refer to our County Councillor. ‘2. Asking for volunteers to clear litter from our area. Not much can be done about the rubbish thrown from cars and vans.’ Parish Council would encourage everyone to help tidy up litter from their local area. ‘3. The standard of hedge cutting by councils and their sensitivity to the environment.’ The local landowner is responsible for hedgcutting and is thought to be sensitive to the environment. ‘4. When the B3349 is closed, suggest a one way system in Bottle/Vicarage Lanes.’ Measures for the road closure will be discussed with SE Water and Highways.
