ROAD CLOSURES will be in place next week as Dorset Highways continue their programme of road maintenance.

'Dorset Road Fix' is part of an ongoing £16million highway maintenance project throughout the council area.

The maintenance is designed to prolong the life of roads by coating them with a waterproof seal that also increases skid resistance.

To allow this work to take place safely, the area of the road being worked on will be closed. Daytime road closures are 9am to 4pm and night work is usually from 7pm to 6am.

The following roads will be closed:

Church Lane, Owermoigne - July 18 to July 20

Church Lane, Osmington - July 19 to July 21

Meadow Close, Chickerell - July 20 to July 22

Lansdowne Road, Bothenhampton - July 21 to July 22
