PLANNED water works will close a Dorset road for one working week. 

Uddens Drive in Colehill, off the A31 between Ameysford Roundabout and Canford Bottom Roundabout, will be closed between Monday, November 18 and Friday, November 22. 

The road closure is in place between the A31 junction and Pilford Lane to allow South West Water to carry out work. 

Dorset Council said the road closure is necessary in order to provide a new water connection. 

A signed diversion route will be in place via Middlehill Road in Canford Bottom, Smugglers’ Lane and Colehill Lane, taking motorists back to Pilford Lane.
