Outcome: 

The Hatch Pond Junction scheme is an integral part of the wider Port of Poole programme. It complements the ‘Conurbation-wide key junction improvements’ action outlined in the Major Transport proposals (Addressing barriers to growth) section in the Transforming Dorset: Strategic Economic Plan.

Following a recommendation at the BoP Transportation Advisory Group in December 2014, the junction improvement works at Hatch Pond were approved by the Transport PFH as part of the wider 2015-18 LTP capital programme. Detailed designs for the scheme were then approved by Ward members with works being completed in November 2016.
