Councillor Mark Anderson, portfolio holder for environment, cleanliness and waste at BCP Council, said: “We apologise to residents and road users for any inconvenience but I’m pleased that we are continuing to take advantage of reduced traffic levels and successful funding bids to improve the quality of our roads, and by doing so enhance the quality of life of people who live and work across the conurbation.”

Cllr Mike Greene, portfolio holder for transport and sustainability, added: “Investing in our transport infrastructure is essential to our aim of making Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole a place where people and businesses want to be.

“Our thanks go out to local people for their patience and also to our teams for working so hard to minimise the level of disruption: we really do appreciate it.”
