  • PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF C69, LEIGH

    PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF C69, LEIGH
    I have received an application from Openreach to close C69, LEIGH between its junction with Bailey Ridge Lane and Totnell House, a distance of approximately 1370 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to replace a pole. These works are programmed to commence between 0800 and 1800 from 17 July 2026 until 21 July 2026.
    Openreach 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.

  • Dorset Council crackdown on fly-tipping

    Dorset Council has announced a new initiative to crack down on fly-tipping.

    As part of the initiative, residents are encouraged to report fly tipping as soon as they spot it. The council advises people to note the location, take a photo if safe to do so, and avoid touching the waste or confronting anyone involved.

    Anyone hiring a trader to remove rubbish should check that the individual or business is a licensed waste carrier. https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/search-waste-carriers-brokers

    Reports of fly tipping can be made using Dorset Council’s online form or by calling 01305 221040. Find out more at https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/scrap-flytipping
