COUNCILLORS are working to improve pedestrian crossings at a busy junction in Compton and Shawford.

Cllr Mike Soutgate has been working closely with Hampshire County Cllr Phil Bailey to assess the site of Otterbourne Road and Shawford Road, the parish council heard.

Highways engineers have been asked to carry out a survey to monitor traffic movements though it is not yet clear when this will be done.

Cllr Southgate told the parish council he is also in talks with Winchester City Council’s traffic department to improve parking in Shawford Road.
