A MAIN road in Gillingham will be closed for more than three weeks in the coming months.
Temporary closure notices have been issued for the B3081 Shaftesbury Road for between January 15 and 30, and again from February 5 to 16.
The closure, which will see the road closed at all times between the Ham Roundabout and Cole Street Lane, is to allow Meta Construction Ltd to carry out “gas connection works”.
“Mata Construction Limited will … place information boards on the road in this area to inform the travelling public of the works; they will carry out a letter drop to local residents directly affected by the works; and they will sign a vehicular diversion route using the local road network,” Dorset Council said.

Could they not have done the work over night and then the road Could be open during the day as the diversion routes flood easily which case it will cause even more disruption
