Construction work is progressing well on the first Hampshire branch of the Canadian eatery Tim Hortons which will be opening in Gosport.

The building work at the site of the new restaurant is well underway with much of the shell in place in preparation for the chain’s sit-in and drive-through site at Fareham Business Park in Lederle Lane adjacent to KFC. Until now its closest eatery has been in Chichester just off the A27.
