DORSET COUNCIL intend, not less than seven days from the date of this notice to make an Order under Section 14 [1] of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, as amended. All vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along GEORGE STREET, WEST BAY from its junction with North Side Basin, as indicated by signs on site. The order is needed in order to comply with health and safety regulations, which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to highway users.

Please note there will be a series of dates when the crane lifts are required and these will be displayed with advanced warning signs.
