Rotten Green: Service vehicle access to the M3 Fleet Services

Please see SU7956 : Rotten Green, Hampshire for a view of this entrance taken in 2011, nearly 5 years prior to this one. The security has been tightened up significantly and it would not be possible to access the motorway from here without some form of security pass. The road from which this was taken is called Pale Lane.
