Proposed temporary road closure of C2, Farnham (Mar25) for pole replacement works

Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close C2, Farnham between Horton Inn and River Allen Bridge, a distance of approximately 280 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to carry out pole replacement works. These works are programmed to commence from 09:30, 11th March 2025 until 15:00, 11th March 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 (downloadable here as a PDF, and below as an embedded PDF) shows the diversion.

This document is for information only, however if you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Jamie Igoe, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 24th February 2025.
