Drivers warned of hour-long wait to get out of Fareham Asda car park
Sian Smith, from Gosport, has told The News about a 50-minute wait to get out of the car park in Newgate Lane.
She said: ‘It was awful trying to get out.
‘I only popped in for a few things but it was utter chaotic trying to get out and I was stuck there for 50 minutes.

‘I have a three-year-old girl in the car with me and I cannot imagine what it would have been like had I had a baby.’
Drivers had been warned earlier this week that traffic around the area would be congested due to the open day at nearby HMS Collingwood.
Construction is currently underway on a new road called Newgate Lane South to be built to the left of the current road, which is hoped to relive some of the traffic along the congested route.
