Back Lane Closed - Traffic Diversion

Wessex Water have commenced roadworks this morning in Back Lane with apparently no notice to residents. This has caused significant disruption and there is someone in place now diverting traffic.

There was an urgent road closure in effect in Main Street, Hursey (more HERE) but nothing about Back Lane this morning. Traffic, including buses and lorries travelled the wrong way down High Street towards the Comrades Hall only to meet traffic coming up the opposite way. This too may be urgent but no notification causes accidents. The police have been notified.

Please take care when driving through the village!

Wessex Water tweeted at approx. 1pm stating: “…sorry for the inconvenience caused. The team involved has advised us that the work has now been completed and traffic should soon return to normal. They’ll look into what went wrong on this occasion to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Thanks.”
