Proposed temporary closure of Unnamed Lane, Witchampton (July 2024)

Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Unnamed Lane, Witchampton between Hemsworth and Dean Leaze, a distance of approximately 580 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to carry out pole replacement works. These works are programmed to commence between 08:00 – 18:00 from 8th July 2024 until 10th July 2024.

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;
• they will sign a vehicular diversion route using the local road network.

The map in the official notice (download the PDF here, or view below (as an embedded PDF)) shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route.

If you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Jamie Igoe, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 19 June 2024.
