To protect the workforce and minimise congestion throughout the roadworks, temporary traffic signals will be in place along with temporary restrictions with signed diversions. Upton Country Park will be open as usual: Cabinet Member for Place Services at Dorset Council said: “These improvements are vital for the safety and wellbeing of communities in the local area so we thank everyone in advance for their patience during the works “We aim to keep disruption to a minimum but please plan ahead and allow extra time reducing the speed for a short stretch of road and adding the new crossing will make the area more pleasant and safer for all.” See the general arrangement design drawing. We have been advised that Southern Gas Network (SGN) works at Blandford Road North will complete later than planned; they have advised this will be 20 September.  Unfortunately this means that we need to postpone our planned improvements at the Upton Country Park junction until 13 January 2025 SGN's current one-way system means we would be unable to introduce our road closure and diversion route for our works at the same time Our decision was not made lightly: as well as keeping traffic flowing we need to consider work schedules and equipment delivery to meet a timetable that suits everyone Our revised date will enable us to do this We understand this delay will be disappointing for many We remain committed to enhancing this area with minimal disruption and thank you for your patience and understanding Will the removel of the left turn lane not cause traffic build up coming down from poole road? Removing the land hand turn lane shouldn’t have any impact on traffic flow on Poole Road There will be some impact on the road coming from the Upton Gateway roundabout but with the speed limit reduction we are not expecting traffic to build up The new layout will be like a traditional T- junction with drivers following the standard traffic rules With the amount of drivers not using the filter lane it might even improve traffic flow Then again throw in the amount that have no idea what those funny orange flashy things maybe not I travel to Creekmoor from Upton on a daily basis yes the signposted temporary diversion route will enable you to get back to Upton This will take approximately three minutes longer than the current route.  the signposted temporary diversion will enable you to get back to Upton.  This is going to cause so many  problems for so many people trying to get to hospital appointments on time is going to be a challenge I can well do without !!  this is going to cause absolute chaos once again your route to the hospital will not change during the works and the layout of the traffic management will prioritise vehicles travelling east bound along Poole Road I regularly use this junction cycling down Roman Road into Upton Country Park I am surprised that there has been no public consultation on this scheme I am signed up to Dorset's newsletter but seen no previous mention of this scheme I would have hoped that you were liaising with your colleagues  in BCP Council but when I saw survey work being undertaken here a few months ago I contacted the BCP cycling officer and was told that there were no proposals for improved cycling facilities at this junction I would like to see what you are proposing but the link to your general arrangement design drawing in not working So without knowing what you are proposing my comments on the improvements needed are: 1  heading south down Roman Road the cycleway sign directs you out to Longmeadow Lane rather than along the cycleway to the subway further south which is very narrow due to lack of maintenance one passes through a mud hole (even in dry weather) and then a gate which serves no purpose as access is available to the road from both sides 3  having passed under the Longmeadow Lane subway the original cycle route follows the narrow foot way across Upton Road and the A35 on slip but recently the bridleway has been made available using the subways under these two roads not clearly signed and the section under the A35 has a rough surface The original route was always substandard and was only provided as the better route via the bridleway was not at that time available due to its use as a cattle crossing from the farm to the fields to the north The original route crossing the two roads should now be removed and the bridleway improved 4  exiting on to the A35 westbound off slip the foot way/ cycleway is narrow and overgrown and the crossing to Upton Country Park encounters high speed traffic with a relatively short sight line The foot way/ cycleway needs widening or better still a separate cycleway provided on a direct route and traffic on the A35 off slip needs to be physically slowed before the Upton Country Park entrance thank you for taking an interest in the scheme and your comments their transport team and Upton Country Park The general arrangement drawing should be working now so apologies for any difficulties that were encountered please do get in touch with our Highways Improvement team who will be pleased to talk to you further and answer your questions Their email address is highwayimprovements@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk As shown in General Arrangement Design Drawing A1 could the A35 westbound offslip (outside Upton Country Park) have the northern edge footway removed the existing road realigned 1m or so north to allow a wider footway on the southern edge of possibly 2m or 3m however it looks like it would be possible to realign the sliproad as explained within existing boundaries given the importance of improving foot and cycle access to Upton Country Park would it be possible to extend this scheme ever so slightly and potentially by just painting a footway from the sliproad footway at the entrance of Upton Country Park to the west edge of the Upton Country Park drive for 10m or so to allow easier access to the footpath shown just inside Upton Country Park in a dotted line Whilst this may be outside of Dorset Council area can you work with Upton Country Park to achieve this I completely understand the nature of these two T junctions but could the same reduction of incidents have been achieved by replacing the nothern most T junction with a small roundabout naturally slowing approaching traffic and encouraging them to speed up after the junction rather than before This may help traffic leaving Upton clear that junction more efficiently which would then allow traffic to clear the westbound offslip more easily In the interest of ensuring the westbound offslip does not back up onto the dual carriageway and due to the location of the Upton Country Park westbound bus stop and the traffic that builds up behind when the bus stops at this location or just general traffic entering Upton would it be possible to paint a yellow hashed area at the westbound offslip T junction with Poole Road to prevent cars blocking the crucial right turn out of the slip road Would it be possible to add a "Dual Carriageway Ahead" or similar sign to the westbound onslip as it looks like a narrow country lane and I have followed visitors to the area who drive at 30MPH along there and then try and join the Dual Carriageway slowly as a result (making it really difficult for the cars behind) Anything that makes this more obviously a sliproad would be appreciated A painted hardstrip would help for example (like the A35 / A354 junction sliproads north of Puddletown) I would also encourage the use of the existing bridleway and amazing existing network of three underpasses it connects to Can I ask why the use of the underpasses is not encouraged as it avoids three busy roads I would also suggest the idea of a grey 30 MPH ahead warning sign at the top of the westbound offslip and applying the 30MPH as close to the new crossing as you can It's downhill and you need to encourage smooth consistent braking for the entire length of the sliproad Will the vegetation clearance to support improved sightlines be maintained or done in such a way to reduce excess growth in future thank you for your suggestions and questions I have added some answers below but if you would like to talk through anything or want more infromation please do send an email to the team at highwayimprovements@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk and they will be help you further.   The General Arrangement drawing is being updated to show a wider footway on the southern side to 2/2.3m it is not possible to remove the northern footway due to and underground services Regarding improving foot and cycle access to Upton Country Park this area is under BCP Council and currently under review many options were looked at for this scheme and the final scheme agreed based on affordability and the objectives set out in the brief The bridleway is under a lease agreement between BCP Council and the farmer We will ensure sightlines are kept clear and the area will be part of our annual maintenance plan for clearance.   Actress Cate Blanchett shares three sons and one daughter with husband Andrew
