A MAJOR scheme to improve a junction in Alresford has been delayed until early in 2015.

The county council has recently approved work on the Jacklyns Lane/West Street junction.

But taking into account traffic regulation orders, the tender procedure and preparations the work is not expected before January at the earliest, said a council spokeswoman.

The project includes a zebra crossing near the entrance to Perins School, a new crossing point on West Street, an improved bus stop and widened footways.
