PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF POUND HILL, CORSCOMBE

PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF POUND HILL, CORSCOMBE

I have received an application from Openreach to close POUND HILL, CORSCOMBE between its junction with Court Hill and its junction with Oak Lane, a distance of approximately 1185 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to carry out pole tests. These works are programmed to commence between 0930 and 1530 from 21 April 2026 until 22 April 2026.

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 Izzy Rowland, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 06 April 2026.
