What is a Definitive Map?

Each highway authority keeps a Definitive Map and Statement of all public rights of way - the formal legal record of the existence of footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic. In total it offers more than 137,000 miles of public footpath, bridleway and byway providing a level of access admired throughout the world.

As part of the programme of works being undertaken by Operation Resilience, we will shortly be undertaking carriageway resurfacing on Murray Road, Horndean, from Catherington Lane to Napier Road. The works are programmed to start on Monday 24^th September and are expected to last for 4 days, during which time the road will be closed to vehicular traffic from approximately 07:30 to 18:00hrs. The road will be open during evenings and weekends.

Prior to the resurfacing it will be necessary to carry out kerb repairs and foot way works which will commence on Monday 3^rd September and are expected to last for 3 weeks. As with the resurfacing works, it will also be necessary to close the road to traffic whilst these repairs are undertaken.

Information signs advising road users of the works will be erected approximately 2 weeks before the start of works. A letter will be sent to local residents and an email will be sent to East Hants District Council and Horndean Parish Council to advise them accordingly.

Should you have any questions or require further information please contact the Operation Resilience team on 01962 813063 or email operation.resilience@hants.gov.uk
