An application has been received from Wessex Water to close SHIPTON LANE, BURTON BRADSTOCK between Kennon Lodge
and Uplands, a distance of approximately 260 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Wessex Water to carry out
permanent reinstatement. These works are programmed to commence from 05 March 2026 until 06 March 2026.
Wessex 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.
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 February 2026.
