Southern Water works on Hook Road - An update from the Parish Council 17.11.2025

Parishioners living in or near Hook Road in Ampfield as well as those who use Hook Road to get from the A3090 to Hursley Road will be aware of the closure of Hook Road from 5th November 2025 to 30th March 2026 with a short reopening over the Christmas and New Year period. Those living in or near Hook Road may be aware that apart from minimal surveying work and a few trial holes, no work was being done in Hook Road from 5th November until 16th November 2025.

Ampfield Parish Council (APC) have been in contact with HCC Highways during that period to see if the road could be re-opened during that period or temporary traffic lights could be used. United Infrastructure, Southern Water's contractor, say that the Highways Authority required a full road closure to be in place. HCC Highways say that this is not true and that the details of a road closure or temporary traffic lights is determined by Southern Water and its contractors. The permit for the road closure includes a condition (NCT09d) which says "Where possible the road closure will be lifted and use of lights integrated to ease burden on traffic and impact in area".

HCC Highways have not provided any contact details for anyone that APC can meet with and neither United Infrastructure nor Southern Water have responded to APC's request for a meeting about the road closure.
