The next six years will see Hampshire Highways continuing to develop a joint approach to reducing carbon with a target of 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2025 and 60% by 2030.

Simon Watson, Business Director for Milestone Infrastructure in Hampshire, said: "We are delighted to be continuing to deliver the Hampshire Highways service until 2029.

"The collaborative approach we take working as Hampshire Highways has provided resilience to the service through some difficult times and this puts us in a strong position to now reinvest in the service over an extended period to 2029.

"Milestone is committed to building on the excellent service already delivered in Hampshire and our focus is to continue to make great strides in carbon reduction and investing further in the county’s highway network as well as local communities."
