As usual most of road repairs are not in East Dorset Perhaps DCC can tell us why this area is so neglected
what about the roads coming into child Okeford . when Durweston bridge was closed everybody cut though child Okeford as a short cut and the back road have suffered form this . so what can be done about this
I was travelling home to Bridport from London yesterday 19 September,and at Mac Donald’s roundabout dorchester the road was close.there were no signs indicating a clear alternative route and after an hour of getting lost I flagged down a car who kindly led me back to Bridport.please please please mark alternative routes.

Hi Judy, sorry to hear of the trouble you had – this stretch of road is managed by Highways England, who were carrying out surfacing works last week. I’ll ask a colleague to pass your comment on to them.
