We have received a notification from Dorset Council for an application from South West Water to close MONMOUTH STREET, LYME REGIS between its junction with A3052 and Waltham House, a distance of approximately 20 metres.

The closure has been requested to allow South West Water to repair a defective cover. These works are programmed to commence on 26 February 2026 only. 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. If you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Izzy Rowland (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 11 February 2026.
