More warehouses for , this time replacing on Viables Industrial Estate. I'm not sure what the point is, the warehouses that replaced don't look to be used, and the warehouses that replaced ITT don't seem to be fully occupied years after they were built. There are warehouses planned for Dummer.

Note the completely inadequate infrastructure pictured, and remember that the (National Cycle Network) passes through the estate.

@simon_brooke @BicycleBen Similarly the - it includes a dirt byway, it takes an almost circular route to take in a Roman town, avoiding an actual town with a rail station where people live and might want to cycle, when it gets to Basingstoke it again misses the town centre and station, takes in an industrial estate where you can do battle with lorries and where the council decided that blocking up a dropped kerb was safer than allowing cyclists to access the cycle path.

Well, County Council still think cyclists should not be using the Route 23 to get to /#Viables Industrial Estate in - there's still no dropped kerb since they built the new section of pavement. Is this negligence, ignorance, or deliberate due to a dislike of ? I wonder why don't audit the ?

Hampshire County Council don't think anyone rides bicycles on this section of the National Cycle Network route 23 so installed a raised kerb, even though it is signed as the main route to the town centre. They say that the cycle barriers they installed further up the shared use path make cycling impossible on the shared use path.
If only Sustrans bothered to maintain standards on the NCN, and reviewed the routes regularly.

newly-installed raised kerb on the National Cycle Network route 23 where the shared use path from Hatch Warren Way meets Jays Close. A destination sign for cyclists can be seen in the background pointing right towards Basingstoke town centre.
