PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF VARIOUS ROADS, LYME REGIS

Dorset Council have notified us of an application from Openreach to close VARIOUS ROADS IN LYME REGIS; B3165, LYME REGIS between the entrance to Travis Perkins and the entrance to Sherwood, a distance of approximately 75 metres.

These works are programmed to commence from 18 February 2026 until 20 February 2026.

CLAPPENTAIL LANE, LYME REGIS between its junction with B3165 and a point approximately 165 metres south. These works are
programmed to commence from 23 February 2026 until 27 February 2026.

The closures have been requested to allow Openreach to excavate and lay new duct.

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 18 January 2026.
