These shops, probably built in the 1960s, are, in my view, badly laid out. They face directly onto the street with pointless hard landscaping in front of them but little parking. There is parking behind the shops, but you are then faced with a long walk. Eastleigh Borough Council recently remodelled the road and put the yellow bollards in. That made it easier to cross the road but reduced the parking.
