At last, a long overdue Order to restrict the width of vehicles using Watery Lane and Dark Lane between Puddletown and Higher Woodsford Road is about to be introduced.  The Order was supposed to have been introduced back in 2006 but somehow never happened.  Staff changed and the whole thing got forgotten about until research by the Parish Council showed up the lack of action.  When they pointed this out to Highways they were told there wasn’t any money to cover the cost but further research by the Parish revealed that the whole thing was meant to have been paid for by a quarrying firm.  That’s when I got involved and I went to see the Head of Highways.  He actually seemed quite embarrassed about the whole matter and within hours I received a clear commitment that the Order will be established very soon!  Update – the Order was advertised in August and any comments have to be with the County Council by September 13th.
