Road Closure for Drainage Works in Poole
A section of Carlton Road in Poole will be closed for drainage works this month. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council has announced that the road will be closed from April 20 to May 1. The closure will affect all vehicles and will be in place between the property boundaries of numbers five and nine.

During the works, there will also be a parking ban as well as a ban on waiting, loading and unloading. The diversion route will be via Carlton Road, Vale Road and Southcote Road. Full access for emergency services will be maintained. Access to individual properties will depend on site safety.
The council said the arrangements may be altered or extended if works overrun or weather conditions delay progress. These restrictions could potentially remain in place for up to 18 months under the traffic regulation order, and could be further extended with approval from the Secretary of State.
