Dorset Council have received an application from South West Water to close COLWAY LANE, LYME REGIS between its junction with Windsor Terrace and the entrance to Camellia House, a distance of approximately 260 metres.
The closure has been requested to allow South West Water to carry out trial holes to locate existing service depths.
These works are programmed to commence from 05 October 2026 until 16 October 2026.
South West 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 07 September 2026.
