Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Unnamed Lane, Horton between Loverley Lane and Cranborne Road, a distance of approximately 700 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to carry out pole testing. These works are programmed to commence between 09:30 – 14:30 on 3rd May 2023.

Openreach will publicise the road closure in a number of ways:

  • they will place information boards on the road in this area to inform the travelling public of the works;
  • they will carry out a letter drop to local residents directly affected by the works; and
  • they will sign a vehicular diversion route using the local road network. The map below shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route.

The official notice, including the map, can be viewed below (as an embedded PDF) or downloaded, as a PDF, here.

This document is for information only, however if you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Jamie Igoe, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 18 April 2023.
