Temporary closure of Unnamed Lane, Witchampton (July 2024)

Dorset Council has issued a Notice under Section 14 [2] of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 as amended. All vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along Unnamed Lane, Witchampton between Hemsworth and Dean Leaze, a distance of approximately 580 metres. The Notice is needed in order to comply with health and safety regulations which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise likelihood of danger to highway users. It will come into operation between 08:00 – 18:00 on 8th July 2024 and remain in force for five days, however it is anticipated that the works will be completed by 10th July 2024.

This Notice will enable Openreach safe access to carry out pole replacement works in the highway.

A locally signed diversion route will be put in place to enable traffic to travel around the closed sections.
