Gym goers in Fareham are being warned to expect delays as a busy road outside Holly Hill Leisure Centre has been hit by roadworks.

Road works started on Barnes Lane in Sarisbury on Tuesday, just after the entrance to Holly Hill Leisure Centre, and are set to last until August 28.

These works, which are being undertaken by Hampshire County Council’s highway teams, are being undertaken to resurface the carriageway.
