"As part of Hampshire County Council’s annual Planned Maintenance programme, this email is to inform you that we will be undertaking Asphalt Preservation works on Cattle Lane, Abbotts Ann, from A343 Salisbury Road to Mill Lane.

These works are currently programmed to start on the 23rd May 2026 and are expected to take up to 1 night to complete. During this time the road will be closed from approximately 19:00 to 07:00 hours but will be open outside of these hours. Vehicular access for residents and businesses will not be possible during the works. Pedestrian access to properties will not be affected, and emergency vehicles will have access at all times.

Whilst there is an allowance within the time periods shown above for delays, there may be times when we have to postpone works at very short notice; based on the latest weather forecasts, this can occur just prior to works commencing. We will always look to provide up to date information wherever we can, but sometimes these last-minute decisions can be difficult to relay to the travelling public in a timely manner. When we can, any significant changes to the scheduled dates will be made clear on the yellow sign boards located at the works limits.

Information signs advising road users will be erected before the start of works. Test Valley Borough Council and Abbotts Ann Parish Council have been copied into this email to advise them accordingly.

Should you have any queries or require further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Richard
