Winchester Avenue Works

Winchester Avenue Upgrade Works

Cala will be carrying out phased surfacing works to Winchester Avenue starting week commencing 21st September 2026, and will take approximately one week.

The work will be delivered in three phases:

  1. 21st September: Phase 1; Up to Harebell Way junction
  2. 22nd September: Phase 2; Harebell Way to Ranulph Road (no vehicle access/egress to Harebell Way between 8am and 5pm)
  3. 23rd September: Phase 3; Ranulph Road to Manley Road
  4. 24th - 25th September: Phase 4; Manley Road and completion of ramps - (no vehicle access/egress to No.1 Manley Road between 8am and 5pm)

Winchester Avenue will be closed at all times during each of the four work phases, with diversions in place. No vehicle access or egress will be permitted on these roads during this time except for emergency vehicles. Pedestrian access will be limited during these times and will be managed by our Traffic Management operatives on site.

Please could we kindly ask for no cars to park on these roads, or any of the diversion routes, during these dates. This is to enable the surfacing works to be completed as quickly as possible, and for cars to flow efficiently.

Traffic Management & Access

Vehicle movements will be controlled by two-way traffic signals. Occasionally, short-term road closures will be necessary, and these will be implemented with advanced warning. Any minor diversion routes will be clearly signposted. Pedestrians will be given safe routes around the works.

Most residents will have full access to their properties for the duration of the work. A small number of properties may not have vehicle access for a short period. The Kamm team will liaise with those homeowners affected in advance to minimise disruption and agree alternative arrangements.

Parking & School Drop Off

We ask all residents to use their driveways and designated parking spaces, avoiding roads, shared areas, and turning circles. This will help minimise disruption and enable the work to be completed swiftly. Additional parking restrictions may be implemented by Kamm if necessary.

Parents of children at Barton Farm Primary Academy have also been informed and are asked to use the southern entrance off Andover Road on to Winchester Avenue when dropping off their children at the school.
