Help this reach your street

Chandler's Ford has a decent north-south bus spine - but if you live away from it, you're often stuck. That means young people, older residents, disabled residents and people without cars are left with long walks, lifts or awkward journeys. We need a proper east-west link connecting Romsey, North Baddesley, Knightwood, Valley Park, Hiltingbury, Fryern and Chandler's Ford station. Good spine. Missing ribs. Connect Chandler's Ford. Back the East-West Bus and tell us the journey you can't make: /issues/east-west-bus

Velmore Farm could bring major pressure on traffic, drainage, school places, health services, construction routes and green space.
