TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE – A357 BLANDFORD ROAD, SHILLINGSTONE

The A357 BLANDFORD ROAD, SHILLINGSTONE has an emergency road closure notice that will come in to operation from Sunday 31st January 2021 and will remain in force for 21 days.

Wessex Water will work extended working hours 7 days a week, however will not work overnight due to the residential nature of the area.

A manned closure will be introduced between Durweston Bridge to Bridge Street, Sturminster Newton – this is to ensure HGVs don’t drive in to the ‘road closed’ area as there will be nowhere for them to turn around.

Spice up Christmas

This is a rare promotion but I have bought from this website and I recommend it to anyone (I meet).

The Mumbai Spice Club is what is has in the tin: https://www.mumbaispiceclub.com. It delivers quickly from Leicester and I am sure there is a Gift idea in there for those looking to Christmas.

Worth a look even it it is just for the recipes.
