Dorset Council have received an application from Openreach to close Sherborne Lane, Lyme Regis in its entirety.
The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to access underground structure to provide fibre cabling. These works are programmed to commence from 9.30 until 3.30 on 22 September 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. The following map shows the extent of the closure.
If you have any concerns about this proposal, please contact Izzy Rowland, (trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk) by 7 September 2026.
