PROPOSED CLOSURE OF CHURCH STREET, YETMINSTER

Dorset Council have received an application from Wessex Water to close CHURCH STREET, YETMINSTER between The Stone House and
Frampton, a distance of approximately 40 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Wessex Water to carry out a new
connection. These works are programmed to commence from 19 May 2025 until 23 May 2025.
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 01 May 2025.
