Parish Council invests in refurbishment of access road at Mountbatten Park

North Baddesley Parish Council has invested £120k in the refurbishment of the Mountbatten Park Access Road. The work was completed by the Parish Council’s chosen contractor, STC Construction and Civil Engineering, on 4 March and was completed over a six week period.

The Ashfield Estate donated the money to the Council as part of its work in creating the Mountbatten Park Housing Estate. The contribution towards the access road accounted for approximately half of the total amount donated by the Estate, and the remaining money was allocated to improvement works on the Scout Hut itself.

This area has long needed refurbishment, and the kind donation has enabled the road to be refurbished and also improved the scout building.

The scope of work included the following:

• Replacement of the kerb and path edging of the existing concrete road and path.

• Positioning kerbing to the scout hut carpark and access road from the end of the old concrete road.

• Fitting a new tarmac subsurface and wearing course to the complete road and path surface.

• Inserting and relocating a new height barrier to allow disabled vehicle access to the main building car park.

• Creating a drainage system to alleviate flooding issues around the paths at the bottom of the park.

• Installing both cable ducting for future CCTV and BT Fibre cabling.

• Adding new security access doors to the scout hut building.

• Handrail appended and access ramp repointed to the scout building main entrance.
