A CAMPAIGN for a new road crossing in Winchester appears close to success. Campaigners have been calling for a crossing on Andover Road to connect the growing estate of Barton Farm with Weeke and Harestock. Parents with children at the recently-opened Barton Farm Primary Academy were involved, fearing that the road posed a danger to children. The campaign attracted cross-party support including city MP Steve Brine, local Liberal Democrats and parish councillors. Now Hampshire County Council (HCC) has said it is drawing up plans for a crossing. Senior county councillor Rob Humby on Friday briefed Mr Brine, Cllr Jan Warwick and Kings Barton resident Mike Slinn who last year presented a petition to the county council.
