Village roads closure for works
ROADS in a Dorset village are to be closed for Openreach works to be carried out.
West Street and Lower Street in Winterborne Stickland will be shut from February 24.
It is thought that the works will be completed by March 5.
The temporary closure order says that all vehicles will be prohibited from proceeding along West Street, Winterborne Kingston from outside West Down Barn, West Street and Sunnyside Farm, Lower Street (in both directions), a distance of approximately 840 metres.
The order is needed in order to comply with health and safety regulations, which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to highway users.
For more public notices like this see the Dorset Echo Public Notices Portal here.
This Order will provide Openreach engineers with a safe working area to lay ducting. A diversion will be in place.
For more information about the work being undertaken and access arrangements, call Sunbelt Rentals (Agents for Openreach) on 03700 500 792 (Option 4).

Some still without phone or internet since Darragh
Nearly two weeks since Storm Darragh hit, some households in Wales remain without a phone line and broadband. Michael Cordell, 69, who lives in Carmarthenshire said about 100 neighbouring properties still have no communications. With his village lacking mobile signal too, he said they can only hope they will be reinstated before Christmas. Openreach, which handles connection maintenance for service provider BT, said it has escalated its response, which resulted from hundreds of telegraph poles and overhead cables being damaged. First-time funding boost for broadband in Wales Power still out for thousands after Storm Darragh Mr Cordell, from Trap, said: "As far as the telephone lines and the broadband go, we're still without power. "We have no communications and can't use broadband, WhatsApp or the internet at all." Describing the situation as "frustrating", he added that people are having to drive four or five miles to get signal. Mr Cordell said he was told on 9 December by BT that he would be reinstated on 12 December, but nothing happened. Another date of 17 December was given, but the problem remained unresolved. "BT told me an engineer had been sent out but a more experienced or senior engineer was required," said Mr Cordell. "That's when the date was put back to the 27 December and that's where we stand at the moment." Near Tregaron in Ceredigion, Carol Coltman, 66, is also without a phone line and broadband. She said the situation made looking after her 87-year-old mum, who has numerous health conditions, very difficult. Not having much signal where they live and no landline to call from, Ms Coltman said she had to walk around her garden trying to get a signal if she wanted to phone for an ambulance. She added that she had also been given several dates in relation to the problem being resolved. "It's made me very anxious and frustrated that BT just don't seem to care," said Ms Coltman. A spokesperson for Openreach said it had received more than 7,500 reports of damage from the public following Storm Darragh and had been "working around the clock in all weather to restore service". They added efforts to restore service "required a combination of tree cutting and telegraph pole replacement". Apologising for the inconvenience caused they said engineers are "working to get everybody back online".

Planning permission refused for lettered signs at 68 Fishergate
Decisions on a number of planning applications were made in the week beginning Monday, December 2. On December 3, City of York Council wrote to an Openreach representative to the effect that "the Local Planning Authority have no representations or comments to make in relation to the proposed works." This referred to a notification that had been issued to the council (under section 5 of the Electronic Communications Code (Conditions and Restrictions) Regulations 2003) for the installation of an eight-metre pole on Union Terrace. Also on December 3, and in response to a representative of York Minster, the council said that a Tree Preservation Order would not be put in place for, and therefore that work could proceed on, the felling of a dead whitebeam and the clearance of four trees, along with work on damaged branches of an ash tree above a footpath. These works were to be subject to the tree owners' consent, and among other stipulations, the council noted that (under Section 1 and 99 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) "it is an offence to intentionally damage or destroy any birds nest [sic] whilst it is in use or being built, or to deliberately damage or destroy a bat roost." Details submitted in respect of conditions were approved by the council on December 3 regarding a landscape phasing plan and general arrangement, plus supplementary plans referring to tree pits, furniture, play, planting, and hardworks, at Burnholme Community Hub. A council document added: "Whilst details are approved we recommend benches are of a more inclusive design (with armrests and so tables accommodate wheelchair users); also that the bench facing terrace six is re-positioned so it is less intrusive in looking directly towards one of the houses." On December 3, in two separate filings, City of York Council granted permission for the display and attachment of two new poster holders on railings at Museum Gardens. An application was refused on December 3 for the display of two wall-mounted lettered signs and one carved stone nameplate on the exterior of Rialto House at 68 Fishergate. Per planning drawings, at least one sign was to have read "Fusion." It was determined that "the proposed sign by virtue of its scale would be harmful to the visual amenity of the surrounding area including the adjacent York Central Historic Core Conservation Area." An archive of planning applications is available on the City of York Council website at
