Roadworks are set to close two roads in a west Dorset village within a week of each other. 

National Grid will be closing Seaborough Manor Farm Lane in the village of Seaborough for a distance of approximately 280 metres past St John's Church from Red Lane junction to the junction at Seaborough Court.

The closure will allow National Grid to replaced a decayed pole and will be in place from  9.30am on Wednesday, March 13, until 3.30pm on Thursday March 14.

A diversions in place via Seaborough Through Lane and Hewish Lane.

Another road closure is set for Seaborough Through Lane the following week from 9.30am on Monday, March 18 until 3pm on Friday, March 22

This is to allow Openreach to lay duct between the junction with Seaborough Manor Farm Lane and the entrance to Hillside Farm

Traffic will be diverted via Seaborough Through Lane and Hewish Lane.

Openreach and National Grid will publicise the road closures by placing information boards on the road to inform the travelling public of the works, carry out a letter drop to local residents directly affected by the works, and signpost a diversion route using the local road network.

For anyone with any concerns about these road closures  Izzy Rowland can be contacted at trafficteam@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk.
