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 09:30 – 15:30 on 8th Janaury 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 following map shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route.

This document is for information only, however if you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Jamie Igoe, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 18 December 2024.
