Dorset Council has received an application from South West Water to close Jericho, Lyme Regis in its entirety.
The closure has been requested to allow Tilbury Douglas on behalf of South West Water to carry out construction works to enlarge an existing underground screen chamber, build a new flow control chamber, interconnecting pipework and intersecting manholes.
These works are programmed to commence from 12 October 2026 until 30 April 2027.
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.
If you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Izzy Rowland: trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk by 27 September 2026.
The following map shows the extent of the closure.
