Over the coming months, a series of closures of the A3066 are planned to allow for necessary road improvements. The Council will post temporary traffic notices on this site as soon as they have been received. Work on the stretch of A3066 from Melplash to Beaminster will now be carried out at night and the road will be closed between 10pm and 7am from Monday 1 August 2016 until Friday 19 August, on weekdays only. This will minimise disruption to the local community, residents and businesses.

Mike Sanders has recently resigned from his position as Councillor for the Drimpton ward due to ill health. The Council extends all good wishes to Mike and his family and thanks him for his dedicated service. There is now a vacancy for Drimpton – look out for notices around the village and further information will be posted online shortly.
