Daily Echo, 22 July 2016: JEERS rang out as council chiefs secured a crucial step towards finalising a controversial blueprint outlining the framework for thousands of new homes in Hampshire.

Scores of angry residents shouted from the public gallery as Eastleigh Borough Council bosses last night gave the green light to a major report outlining the town’s housing needs over the next two decades.

Their decision came despite the town’s Tory MP Mims Davies making a rallying call for councillors to reject the report when she took to the podium – receiving a standing ovation from the crowds.

If options B and C go ahead, this bridge – at Allbrook Lane – would be at the west end of the proposed North Bishopstoke link road. It’s clearly too small to accommodate the vastly increased traffic flows from 6,000+ new homes and, without any plans to expand it, surely makes the new road unviable. If you agree this bridge will cause huge traffic jams, we need your help to stop options B and C. View Daily Echo article of 17 March 2016 below.
