A road in Swanage will temporarily close next month so workers can excavate a trench for a new electricity supply.

The works on Chapel Lane, which are being carried out by Connect It Utility Services on behalf of Scottish and Southern Power Distribution, are scheduled to begin on September 12.

The closure will affect a 100-metre section between the junctions with High Street and Manor Road, in both directions.

The full public notice is available to view at publicnoticeportal.uk/notice/traffic-and-roads/6a86f45fb82a7cf917f4308a?

It will remain in place until October 5, although Dorset Council has granted an order that could keep the closure in place until March 2028.

Anyone who drives a vehicle on the closed section could be fined up to £1,000.

A signposted pedestrian diversion will be provided.

The official roadworks notice, published by Dorset Council, cites the need to provide safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to road users.

Further information about the works and access arrangements is available by calling Connect It Utility Services on 01489 535600.

Queries regarding the closure order itself should be directed to Dorset Highways Traffic Team on 01305 221020.

For more information, visit the Dorset Council website.

Any person who uses or permits the use of a vehicle in contravention of the Notice will be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £1000.
