Haslemere Road closed
- Dee (12th Apr 2021  07:58:27)

Haslemere Road is now closed, the village end, notification says for whole week.

Thank you Dee for confirming this - lets hope more signs are put along the Haslemere Road to warn people approaching the Village and other areas and not like last time when the road was closed

Beware the terrible pot-hols on the diversion around the village, our infrastructure is crumbling in our well-off South East of the relatively rich UK.

Doesn’t this hi light the need for a serious look at the roads around liphook. Liphook has grown out of all proportions to when the roads were used by stage coaches and we have not had any more built except for the bypass which has not made any difference to local roads in fact made them worse. Can you imagine if the square was closed for a week as it has been a 10 mile round trip to get from one side to the other. HCC Highways gave us some options some years ago but nothing came of them. They obviously realise we needed to look ahead and plan our future but it seems that our local councils don’t have that mindset. Yes you will all say but that means more houses to pay for the roads but we are having the houses without the infrastructure doesn’t make sense.

Outside of the school run our roads are relatively benign compared to many other nearby towns. I think there are too many locals that need to get out and about more and see what real traffic congestion is. Some of us remember when the A3 actually went through the square, we are still in a much better position now than then.

The infrastructure inaction can be explained perhaps in part by useless officials. But we must not be in the illusion that more infrastructure would be a sustainable solution for overcrowding and stretched services.
Better infrastructure in this climate will necessarily attract additional demand which would not be there if the infrastructure was to be left poor.
Seems that communities elsewhere but similar to Liphook are increasingly arriving at the regrettable realisation that a balance of compromised infrastructure needs to be tolerated in order to maintain a sensible sustainable rate of community growth... Discouraging but pragmatic

The little road from Haslemere road and Highfield Lane has been re-surfaced, wonderful!

The answer to the congestion is to put link roads between all the roads that lead to the square to divert traffic away, there are some of these roads already in place such as tower road connecting the headly road with london road, and the avenue linking longmoor road and headley road, and Newtown Road to link Portsmouth road and midhurst road.

Only a few more needed.

More roads attract more cars. Matters not whether they're called 'links' 'relief', bypass', 'ring' or whatever naming.
The sustainable solution will be changing habits by further restriction to unhelpful old habits and rewarding new helpful habits.

-Stop encouraging population increase by restricting benefits for larger families and rewarding smaller families with benefits. Politically problematic but can benefit all.

-Take funds away from roads improvement and from self owned
leisure cars, invest instead on attractive public transport solutions, so successful elsewhere.

The clowns we vote for must fall about laughing when we all blame each other for the pot holes etc. The reason we have crumbling roads is we all got placed into a trance by hateful media before we exercised our right to vote and we voted for the selfservatives who couldn’t give a monkeys about us be that south east or wherever

Re: Haslemere Road closed

@ John. Many people didn't vote FOR the Conservatives, they voted AGAINST Commie Corbyn and his bunch of union funded Trotskyists. That's why we are lumbered with Boris the Buffoon, a choice many of us would still make.

Don,

If people didn't vote for Conservatives then how are Conservatives our government?

People did vote FOR Conservatives if they didn't they wouldn't be in government.

U think pot holes are bad, come up gunns farm and see the holes the railway lot have made, absolutely disgraceful.
