The Avenue Cameras ??? - Katy (10th Feb 2015 - 13:50:24) Do you know why camera's have been fitted to the lamp post at the corner of the Avenue and Longmore road ?

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - kayleigh (10th Feb 2015 - 14:15:59) there are some by the sainsburys roundabout too...prob something to do with the traffic...?

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Jo (10th Feb 2015 - 14:38:28) They are all over, Sainsbury's roundabout, Bohunt school, the Square. I wonder why too?

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Big A (10th Feb 2015 - 14:56:41) Number plate recognition cameras to determine that a vehicle has been taxed and insurance

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Dee (10th Feb 2015 - 15:04:30) In the Haslemere Road as well with a camera. Down the Headley Road just the cable across the Road I think. Presume traffic survey as to whether Liphook can cope with the new building. Happy driving Dee

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Paul Robinson (10th Feb 2015 - 15:08:32) These cameras are part of a major traffic monitoring survey commissioned jointly by Hampshire County Council and a developer in order to record vehicle movement to and through the centre of the village. Paul Robinson

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Jay W (10th Feb 2015 - 15:24:20) If its a survey - we'd best all take to our cars for the next few days/weeks then!

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Dee (10th Feb 2015 - 15:40:35) Hi Thanks for the information. How long will they be in operation for as obviously it is half term next week, so the flow of traffic will ease. How convenient. Perhaps if people think it will record their number plates it may stop the boy/girl racers along the Haslemere Road before some one gets killed. Dee

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Ian (10th Feb 2015 - 15:52:00) Hopefully the timings are coincidental although am I being too cynical in thinking the traffic survey has been organised for a period of time to include the school holiday!?1 Those with an anti development viewpoint would be wise to record a note for future use of when the traffic survey started and finished.

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - liz (10th Feb 2015 - 16:33:33) It will also show far less traffic than normal on the 'old A3' because of the single lane/traffic lights by the flats! Great timing. Assuming these surveys are not cheap and that they genuinely want a true reflection of the traffic flows, what a daft time to do it!

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - David (10th Feb 2015 - 19:52:54) Survey was for 12 hours only and was arranged by someone named Peter Brett. Is it a agency not sure ,does anyone?

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Rachel (10th Feb 2015 - 20:28:56) I was walking home this evening and had just past the Avenue/Longmoor road camera, when a bright yellow car came flying along the road at breakneck speed! The car past the camera and for a moment I hoped it would flash, but alas not. Shame, I was hoping they were speed cameras and would slow the traffic along Longmoor road.

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Jane (10th Feb 2015 - 22:12:35) Peter Brett Associates are the organisation that worked with The Northcott Trust who are potentially looking to put in a planning application for housing to the south of Longmoor Road. There was an exhibition a couple of years back at The Deers Hut.

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - tony (11th Feb 2015 - 11:38:06) With so many proposed developments it's hard to keep up. Think I might buy a field somewhere between the Headley Road and Bordon myself, put in an application, before it's all built on, and we're one big happy family! It's coming, I've seen it in the tea leaves. Or perhaps it was the Housing Minister who promised it at one of those big government dinners. I think Liphook was mentioned and everyone had a good laugh over their Cognac, especially the developers who had payed £10,000 a table for a ticket, (or was it a bribe?) The first wave are here, with their slick PR machines, doubtless still paying for those expensive dinners...

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Steve Jones (13th Feb 2015 - 21:11:58) Liphook is almost bursting with major issues: 1) Schools filled to the brim, how can hundreds more children fit. 2) 2 doctors surgeries that sadly are unable to cope at present time. (They work very hard but resident numbers are high) 3) Not a lot of public transport, trains are having issues on a weekly basis, buses to Bordon -> Alton -> Basingstoke, but not a great deal. 4) Local roads are getting to the point where grid lock is happening on a daily basis in the village. 5) Jobs, there isn't enough jobs in the village for people whom don't have access to a car.

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Laura (14th Feb 2015 - 08:31:11) Responding to point 1 raised above. The schools are very full, but they take from a great distance away. Therefore the school will narrow it's catchment area once the size of the village is increased.

Re: The Avenue Cameras ??? - Steve Jones (18th Feb 2015 - 19:18:25) where will all those children go? many more schools are really close to full. no thought is given by developers as normal
