PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF C38, EAST CHELBOROUGH

PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF C38, EAST CHELBOROUGH

I have received an application from Wessex Water to close C38, EAST CHELBOROUGH between the entrance to Oaklands Farm and a point approximately 100 metres south. The closure has been requested to allow Wessex Water to carry out a permanent reinstatement. These works are programmed to commence on 12 January 2026 only.

Wessex Water 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 Izzy Rowland, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 22 December 2025.
