From Tuesday 6 May to Friday 18 July, our contractors AJM Utilities Limited will be replacing the gas main on Western Road (northbound) in Poole.
These essential works involve replacing the old metal gas pipes with new plastic pipes to ensure we can continue to provide a safe and efficient gas supply to the local community.
Our engineers will be replacing the gas main in the northbound carriageway on Western Road from its junction with Martello Road to the junction of Leicester Road and Belgrave Road. Due to the location of the gas main in the road, we’ll need to temporarily close the northbound lane.
This temporary closure on Western Road will mean:
- No traffic heading northbound between the junctions of Martello Road and Leicester Road/Belgrave Road.
- A signed diversion route will be in place for northbound traffic via Western Road, Pinecliff Road, The Avenue and vice versa.
- Vehicle access to properties and side roads within the closure will be maintained - we’ll keep affected residents informed about access arrangements.
- Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from your service provider.
We understand how disruptive road closures can be for local communities and we assure you our engineers will be working as quickly and as safely as possible.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this closure may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
