A30 Brighton Hill Roundabout Scheme
Dear Hampshire County Council,
I would like to request any simulations or estimated improvements in traffic flow as a result of your proposed A30 Brighton Hill Roundabout Scheme. Please provide this as a comparison against current flow, as well as the method used to achieve the estimates/simulations.
I would also like information regarding the impact of removing the subways on the vehicle traffic flow and pedestrian/cyclist safety through the roundabout. Additionally the cost implications of retaining the subways vs removing them and filling them in.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Cowan

Dear Mr Cowan. Please find attached the requested traffic modelling for the Brighton Hill roundabout improvement scheme.
However in reply to your request for the cost comparison between retaining the subways vs removing them and filling them in, one does need to consider the whole life costing of the asset and costs associated with upgrading and extending the subways and the return on investment of the infrastructure. The value of any cost benefit analysis at this stage, beyond that to determine the preferred solution is not reportable without additional officer time in excess of the allocated time for FOI requests and of limited value beyond its purpose of decision making to inform our proposed solution.
Thank you for you enquiry and I trust that the FOI information provides the detail you require to explain further our proposed improvements for Brighton Hill roundabout.
Kind regards

Dear Hampshire County Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Hampshire County Council's handling of my FOI request 'A30 Brighton Hill Roundabout Scheme'.
The response failed to give any information regarding the potential reduction in safety through removing the subways on the Brighton hill roundabout. It is unclear as to whether a proper assessment has been done on this change to the proposed scheme, as the question regarding costs was also dismissed without a response.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...
Yours faithfully,
Alex Cowan

Dear Mr Cowan
I am emailing to advise you that there will be a delay to providing my
response to your internal review for the above EIR. The reason for the
delay is that County Council are waiting for third party permission to
release information to you.
I will endeavour to provide a response to you by the end of next week.
Yours sincerely
