Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Witchampton Lane, Hinton between B3078 and a point approximately 840 metres to the west. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach safe access to the overhead network. These works are programmed to commence between 09:30 – 15:30 on 22nd 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 in the notice (embedded below as a PDF or available for download as a PDF here) shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route.

The notice is for information only, however if you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Jamie Igoe, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 27 April 2023.
