Havant Town Centre Refurbishment

What the project is:

Several phases of a larger strategic project aimed at delivering the refurbishment of Park Road in Havant town centre, comprising:

• The introduction of an avenue of high quality decorative lamp columns, street trees and landscaping to create a ‘boulevard’ effect
• The resurfacing of pedestrian foot-ways
• The rationalisation of unnecessary street clutter
• The removal of pedestrian guard rails
• The creation of more substantial crossing points
• The opening up of views into Havant Park
• Landscaping part of the Boys Brigade Gardens
• Landscaping Bosmere Pond
• Landscaping part of the Lavant Stream
• The creation of gateway features
• The creation of a new focal space at the junction with West Street
• Improvements to the junction with Elm Lane
• Improvements and new gateway to park
• Footpath and cycleway improvements across Park Road
• Gateway artwork features on the roundabouts at each end of Park Road

Background:

Havant town centre is a key gateway to the Borough and a focus for services, employment and retail as well as being an important transport interchange for onward travel. Therefore, the vitality and urban quality of the town centre is a critical factor in securing sustainable regeneration of the Borough.  With the significant housing development proposals of 6,300 dwellings within the Borough, the project will play a key role in making the quality of the public realm in the town centre attractive to investors, developers, and future occupants.

Park Road, having originally been a by-pass but now absorbed by the town, divides retail development to the West from the town centre to the East. In pedestrianising the road into a more accommodating ‘boulevard’, the aim is to promote a better balanced relationship between the two sides of the road and nurture equitable and continuous development throughout the area.
