Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Various Roads, Witchampton as listed:
- Dark Lane between Malthouse Cottage and Chapel Row;
- Chapel Row between Dark Lane and Sheephouse Drove;
- Unnamed Lane between Dark Lane and Malthouse Barn;
- Unnamed Lane between Chapel Row and 10 Five Ash Cottages.
The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to carry out cabling works. These works are programmed to commence from 09:30 until 15:30 on 11th February 2025. Residents access will be maintained.
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 below shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route (the official notice with the map can be downloaded here as a PDF).
This document is for information only, however if you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Jamie Igoe, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 27th January 2025.
