Following some issues with the booking system (thank you to those people who informed us of this), we are pleased to announce that tickets are once again available for our A27 Portchester design workshops taking place at Portchester School on Tuesday 29th November and Saturday 3rd December.

Join us for a collaborative-design workshop to co-design improvements to the A27. The aim of these workshops will be to address the comments raised at the ‘issues and opportunities’ co-discover stage (stage 1) by designing improvements to help make it easier and safer for everyone to use the A27.

** You do not need to attend the whole session. We recommend booking a 30-minute slot to help manage numbers **

The workshops will take place in the Conference Room at Portchester Community School on the following dates/ times:

One of the key themes we heard during stage 1 was the need for safer provision for active travel and roundabout upgrades. Improvements for active travel would aim to encourage those that can, to choose to walk or cycle, reducing congestion and traffic pressure for those that need to drive.

This workshop will be run by designers and engineers from Sustrans and Hampshire County Council, using large maps, model kits, and drawing materials, to try out your ideas for improvements. No design experience is necessary, come along to discuss your ideas and help shape the vision for a safer and less congested A27.

These workshops are part of the second stage (stage 2) in the collaborative design process being run by Hampshire County Council, to make improvements to the A27 that encourage those that can, to choose to walk or cycle, reducing congestion and traffic pressure for those that need to drive.

If you are unable to join us on the dates listed, please do send any ideas to engagement.feedback@hants.gov.uk. This can be in the form of text, images/ drawings or any other alternative.

We have finished reviewing the information that was gathered from the A27 Commonplace, as well as the co-discovery events.
