Getting to you here
This is no longer the harbour. Dual carriageway, a retail park, and then genuine lanes. A nail outside Wellington Retail Park is a car park job. A puncture in Hambledon (Hampshire) may be on a road too narrow to pass. Say whether you are on the A3 corridor or in the lanes, because the van cannot treat those as the same stop.
Inside PO7
Waterlooville. The town on the A3. Precinct, side streets, and a lot of family cars. A slow leak found after the weekly shop is the usual shape of the call.
Purbrook. Between the island and Waterlooville. The London Road is busy; the estate streets behind it are tight. Kerbed alloys hide on those corners.
Widley. On the Portsdown slope. Steeper drives and a mix of cars that still commute onto the island. A driveway job is simpler than anything on the A3 itself.
Crookhorn. College traffic and estate roads. Short stays produce punctures in the same bays. Name the street; the estates repeat their layouts.
Stakes. Residential, just off the main run. Quiet until a car sits on a rim overnight. The spare is often as tired as the one that failed.
Wellington Retail Park. Pallets, screws, and a car park that works all week. Height is not usually the problem; finding the bay is. Name the shop.
Brambles Business Park. Vans, units, and early starts. Dual wheels and loaded floors change the jacking. Say if the van is empty enough to lift.
Denmead. Off the A3, into a village with real lanes. School runs and farm traffic. A puncture on the narrower road may need the vehicle pulled in before any fitting.
Hambledon (Hampshire). Deeper into the lanes, famous for cricket and for roads that do not forgive a wide van. Describe the width. A passing place is not optional here.
Anmore. A hamlet, not a high street. The job is almost always a driveway or a verge. Soft ground after rain will not take a jack.
Worlds End. The name is accurate enough: a handful of houses and a lane. Say the house, not a shop that does not exist.
The A3 is one job. The lanes are another.
If a lorry cannot pass you, say so before the van leaves Cosham.
