DORSET COUNCIL has made an Order under Section 14 [1] of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984,
as amended.
All pedestrians will be prohibited from proceeding along Footpath 8, from grid
reference SY 366 931 (point A on the map shown) to grid reference SY 367 931 (point B on the
map shown), a distance of approximately 50 metres. The Order is needed in order to comply with
health and safety regulations, which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the
likelihood of danger to highway users.
It will come into operation on 09 January 2023 for a period of 4 weeks but it will remain in force for
26 weeks and can be extended with the approval of the Secretary of State for Transport, if necessary.
This Order is required to allow for the repairs of the highway bridge across River Char.
