Between 30th April and 16th May 2024, the roads highlighted on the map below in the official notice (embedded PDF) are scheduled for surface dressing. These sites will form a rolling programme that is weather dependent and liable to change.
For safety reasons, work will be carried out under a road closure with local diversion. Signs on site will indicate the traffic management in operation. During the closure periods there will be no on street parking available. Parking restrictions will be imposed to prevent waiting or parking on the roads stated above. Any vehicle in contravention of any restriction imposed by this Notice may be removed under the provisions of the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986. If a vehicle has been towed the owner will need to contact our towing contractors Ashleywood Recovery Ltd/Bride Valley Recovery Ltd on 01305 889421.
Working times will be between the hours of 5am and 5pm, works will not take place at night, over the weekend or on Bank Holidays.
Due to the unpredictable weather, a narrower window for the work will be advertised two weeks before it’s due to start. Yellow advance notice boards will be placed on site two days prior to works. Businesses and local farms affected by the works will also be notified three weeks before work starts. Access for residents will be maintained where possible, however they may be asked to wait while the site is made safe before being given access. Where we know of school transport, we will ensure this is able to pass through the site or alter working hours accordingly.
A small surplus of loose chippings will remain on the road, these will be removed by a suction sweeper around two days after the work. Some sites will need Surface Sealing, the road will be closed a second time with no parking enforced to enable application before the line marking can be replaced. Additional signage will be erected on site advising the date of this application where needed.
If you wish to discuss any issues regarding this work, please contact Dorset Council.
