M3 service station petition

As your Member of Parliament, I strongly advocate for the preservation of our environment, and I firmly believe that urgent action must be taken concerning the proposed new Motorway Service Area (MSA) at Junction 6 of the M3. The existing services at Fleet and Winchester are already situated within a distance of 23 miles, surpassing the Department for Transport's recommended guidelines by 5 miles so, in my view, there is no need for a new service station to be built.

The environmental impact of introducing a new MSA at Junction 6 cannot be overlooked. This proposal poses a direct threat to the integrity of a listed landscape and building, raising concerns about the potential degradation of our natural surroundings and historical heritage.

Furthermore, the development of additional facilities has the potential to exacerbate traffic congestion in the area. The strain on local infrastructure and the implications for traffic flow demand careful consideration.

As your representative in Parliament, I pledge to always stand up for the preservation of our environment. Our community deserves careful planning that prioritises environmental conservation, and I am committed to championing this cause on your behalf.

M3 Motorway Services Area Petition

Current Your details

To the House of Commons,

The petition of residents of North East Hampshire,

Declares that that urgent action must be taken concerning proposals for a new Motorway Service Areas (MSA) at Junction 6 of the M3; there is no need for any additional motorway service area given that the existing services at Fleet and Winchester are only 23 miles apart, which is already 5 miles within the Department for Transport’s guidance for the distance between MSAs; the development of any new facilities will be detrimental to the environment, a listed landscape and building and traffic congestion; and the proposal made to date for a MSA at Junction 6 is not acceptable.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges HM Government and all relevant authorities make sure that protection of the environment, the preservation of a listed landscape and building, and the avoidance of traffic congestion are given priority over this unnecessary new Motorway Service Area at Junction 6 of the M3; and to make sure that further investment is encouraged at Fleet and Winchester.

And the petitioners remain, etc.
