The planned half-term closure of the main Verwood to Ringwood road has been postponed.

The B3081 was scheduled to be shut to vehicles from 7.30am On October 25th to 5pm, October 29th 2021.

But in a discussion on the multiple roadworks currently planned for Verwood, Councillor Toni Coombs announced the closure has been put off following action by local councillors.

We’ve requested more information but for now, we can confirm the tree felling work will not be going ahead during half-term.

Meanwhile, tonight (9pm) sees the start of the A31 eastbound entry sliproad towards Ringwood being closed around the clock till Christmas.
