Parking and Signage Working Group
The Parking and Signage Working Group was created to review the current parking arrangements for the town centre and identify options to improve the signage leading to the town from the trunk road network.
The following actions have been agreed by the working group and are now being progressed and implemented:

- New ultra-short stay parking
- Ultra-short stay or 'dash and go' parking implemented
- Hampshire County Council consulted on highway enhancements to Chantry Street and Newbury Street due to be carried out in 2015
- Improved loading bay to be provided to better meet the needs of retailers.
New Signage
- New boundary signs to welcome people at the entry points into Andover - installed July 2014
- New and additional signage to attract potential passing visitors from the A303.
Parking payment improvements
- Create a pilot scheme to improve provision for long stay workers in the town at a reduced rate - additional season ticket parking spaces introduced at a discounted rate
