Proposed temporary closure of Unnamed Lane, Gussage St Michael (Apr25)

Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Unnamed Lane, Gussage St Michael between Waterside and a point approximately 590 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to carry out pole testing works. These works are programmed to commence from 09:30, 23rd April 2025 until 15:30, 23rd April 2025.

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 shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route (see embedded PDF below, or download the official notice 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 8th April 2025.
