Oakmount Road Closure

Councillor Davidovitz has spoken to highways officers and they will contact the Contractor regarding concerns about the inadequate signage I reported to him

This is the note Cllr Davidovitz received in advance of the work and which he passed on to local Councillors and the Parish council:

I am writing to you to inform you of my intention to carry out joint sealing works on Oakmount Road, Chandlers Ford between Winchester Road and Leigh Road junctions. The works are currently programmed to commence on Sunday 15 February and are expected to last for 5 days. These repairs to the carriageway are taking place to seal the current surface from water ingress and other such elements. The works will be taking place under restricted hours of 9:30 – 16:30 and will be separated into 3 phases to limit the inconvenience to the residents and business owners in the vicinity.

Whilst the joint sealing is carried out, every effort will be made to minimise disruption to highway users, although for Health and Safety reasons much of this work will require a road closure. Delays are to be expected but there will be gatemen on site to help with any problems.  As much notification will be provided to the public as possible via signage erected on the road. As previously mentioned, the overarching programme is extensive and changes to dates and times are likely, and often at short notice. The pre warning signs will be updated as soon as possible to help inform the travelling public.

Should you have any queries or require further information please call the contact centre on 0300 555 1388 or email operation.resilience@hants.gov.uk

We can see that they say above that the work was due to start on Sunday but the signs put out said Monday:
