Road works at Portesham
From Monday 30th September the coast road will be closed for six weeks at Goose Hill on the western approach to Portesham (coming from Abbotsbury). There will be diversions signposted using the B3157, A354 (Weymouth Way) B3159 and A35 roads. The smaller roads are single track so will be very busy with the extra traffic - please allow at least an extra 15 minutes to get to your appointments at Portesham and use main roads where you can.
NEW UPDATE Any patients who wish to attend the surgery during the road works can park at the Playing Fields by Elworth on the Portesham-Abbotsbury road, the parish council will rope off a space for parking. Wessex Water will be cordoning off a walkway on the road to Goose Hill so patients can then walk through to the surgery in safety.
For those who have precriptions delivered to various pick up points, this service will continue except for the Burton Bradstock delivery which will be only once a week on a Friday morning instead of twice a week.
We also understand that Abbotsbury Hill will be closed for the week beginning 23rd September.
