Resurfacing the Higher Blandford Road
The Higher Blandford Road (B3074), from Windgreen to St Huberts Church will be closed for resurfacing next week.
This bit of road was resurfaced this time last year, but as many of you have noticed the surface very quickly began to break up and was washed down into the A31 by the heavy rain we had at the turn of the year.
A whole raft of excuses were offered including the wrong sort of rain and the wrong sort of stones, this was occurring all over the County on roads resurfaced last summer, they obviously got a duff lot.
I am assured that this time they will do a good job and it will last, different supplier of stones this time.
Diversions will be in place and traffic will be directed through the village along the Wareham Road to the Limberlost traffic lights, up to the Henbury roundabout and back down the A31. Some local people may be tempted to find their own shorter diversion !
have your say
