Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Witchampton Lane, Witchampton between B3078 and a point approximately 840 metres to the west (in both directions). The closure has been requested to allow Openreach safe access to poles. These works are programmed to commence between 09:30 – 15:30 on 27th January 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 official notice (embedded below as a PDF, or downloadable as a PDF here) 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 12 January 2023.
