One of the major congestion points in Whitchurch is the junction of Micheldever Road and Winchester Road at school times. Each morning and evening the problems caused by the school run are exacerbated by the arrival and departure of the School Buses for Testbourne – but a solution is close at hand.
As part of the new development of Mill Springs off Winchester Road, David Wilson Homes aare building a new Bus Bay/Drop-off point which, when operational, will provide a safe and purpose built alternative for the Testbourne buses.
No longer will the School Buses have to mount pavements, squeeze past other drivers and cause danger in Micheldever Road to school children walking, other pedestrians and drivers.
The day cannot come soon enough when the new bus bay which will link to a new safe path into school is opened.
And not only that...
... with the current bus bay at the front of Testbourne being made almost redundant, wouldn't that make a convenient and spacious drop off point for Walking Buses for the Primary School. Park and Stride anyone?
Those who arranged this excellent facility and the wider opportunities it gives are to be very much commended.
Now we just need it implemented.
