A BEAMINSTER street will be closed during the day next month to allow BT workers the space to provide new overhead cabling.

Lynden Way is set to be shut between its junction with North Street and the Yarn Barton Centre in Fleet Street - a distance of about 55 metres.

BT Openreach will be installing fibre overhead cabling, with works programmed to start at 9.30am and finish at 3.30pm on Monday, March 20.

Dorset Council says that BT will publicise the road closure and place diversion signs at the location to inform drivers.
