Dorset County Council Temporary Closure of Public Footpaths 24, Chickerell

DORSET COUNTY COUNCIL has made an Order under Section 14 [1] of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended by the Road Traffic [Temporary Restrictions] Act 1991. All pedestrians will be prohibited from proceeding along Footpath 24, Chickerell from grid reference SY 6518 8045 to grid reference SY 6529 8006, a distance of approximately 435 metres. 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. It will come into operation on 19 July 2017 for a period of 26 weeks. But it may be extended, with the approval of the Secretary of State for Transport, if necessary. This closure is required to allow CG Fry to construct a housing development. For the period of this footpath closure alternative routes will be available from the southern end of the closure, walk west for 200m to the corner of Putton Lane (Point C = SY 6510 8002), then walk north for 390m to the junction with Glennie Way (D = SY 6490 8030), continue north for 100m to the footpath (E = SY 6488 8041) and cross the fields heading north easterly for 140m to Lower Putton Lane (F = SY 6497 8053), then turn right and head east for 110m to the footpath (G = SY 6508 8052) and walk south for 145m to the northern end of the closure (A = SY 6518 8045). The reverse route applies. If you would like further information about the works please contact Rod Pullen, CG Fry & Son Ltd, 01308 482000. For further information about Rights of Way matters, please call Dorset Countryside on 01305 221000. Dated: 13 July 2017.
