For those wishing to donate items to the collection for Ukrainian refugees in Poland being coordinated by the Southampton Polish Club, there will be a local collection point in the Hursley Parish Hall on Saturday 5th March between 10 and 12.
 
The appeal is asking specifically for donations of the following:
 
- Toiletries (soap, shampoo, toothpaste/brushes
- Bandages / plasters
- Baby food (jars, sachets with long date)
- Nappies / Wet wipes
- Feminine sanitary products
- Food (non-perishable or long life)
- Blankets
- Towels
- Sleeping bags
- Thermal blankets
- Thermal underwear
- Warm hats
- Chemical heaters (guessing all the small camping stuff to keep individuals warm without needing electricity / external power source)
- Portable power generators / stations
- Outdoor LED lighting
- Camp beds
- Tent heaters
 
At the moment they are not asking for clothes but this may change later.
If you have any spare cardboard boxes, could you please bring them along to the hall with donations?
 
We will be delivering the donations to the Polish Club the following week and we may well have further collection dates.

M3 Junctions 9 to 14 Safety Barrier Improvements

7/2/2022

 
M3 junctions 9 to 14 - update
 
Update M3 between junctions 9 and 14.
 
Last month the Government published its response to the Transport Select Committee’s inquiry into the roll out and safety of smart motorways.
 
That response included a commitment to pause the rollout of future all lane running (ALR) smart motorway schemes until a full five years’ worth of safety and economic data is available from upgrades delivered before 2020.
 
The M3 junctions 9 to 14 upgrade is one of the schemes being paused.
 
During the pause, we will continue to make sure all existing ALR smart motorways are equipped with best-in-class technology and resources and are as safe as they can possibly be.
 
In terms of the junction 9-14 stretch of the M3, we intend to upgrade the existing central reservation barrier from steel to concrete, which will deliver safety benefits. This is the only work we’ll be doing as the rest of the upgrade is subject to the pause.
 
Last year we started early preparatory work on the junction 9-14 stretch and that work is still needed before we can start on just the barrier upgrade.
 
So, from 7 February we’ll be resuming the preparation work, which’ll involve minor verge, drainage, and cabling work. These activities are all essential because traffic will be using the existing hard shoulder while we work in the central reservation.
 
If you have any questions about the M3 junction 9 to 14 project, please contact National Highways by:
  • Email – info@highwaysengland.co.uk
  • Phone – 0300 123 5000
  • Letter – National Highways, 2 Colmore Square, Birmingham, B4 6BN
 
For your information, I have also enclosed a PDF copy of this email.
