Before Christmas Kings Barton Residents' Association Committee responded to the City Council's Draft Local Plan Consultation. This Response was primarily about the proposed redevelopment of the Sir John Moore Barracks Site to provide further housing and in particular an 850 space park-and-ride car park. We pointed out that it would not be acceptable if Andover Road were to be closed, that all the traffic generated by the redevelopment, including the additional park-and-ride traffic, was diverted through Kings Barton along Winchester Avenue.
Apologies for any confusion caused by this, but to address any misunderstanding and to reassure you on behalf of all residents;
Kings Barton Residents' Committee remains determined to insist on compliance by Hampshire County Council and CALA with the Kings Barton Travel Plan requirement for a bus service for residents.
The Travel Plan can be viewed by clikcing on the button below and states that there will be a bus service between the development, the City Centre and Winchester railway station once Winchester Avenue is fully open.
This service is required to operate between 06.30 & 23.00 Monday – Saturday (between 09.00 & 18.00 on Sunday)
- 10min frequency service 07.00-09.00 &16.00-18.00 Monday to Friday
- 20min frequency service 06.30-07.00, 09.00-16.00 & 18.00-20.00 Monday to Friday
- Hourly service 20.00-23.00 Monday to Saturday
- 20 min frequency service 06.30-20.00 Monday to Saturday and
- Hourly service 09.00-18.00 on a Sunday
We are meeting soon with our local Hampshire County Councillor Jackie Porter to discuss how this bus service will be provided and what bus service improvements can be made now prior to Winchester Avenue being completed.
