\"DCC\"<\/a>
\n\"C13\"<\/a>Local villagers have been given the chance to view the closed section of the C13 and ask questions about what is happening.<\/p>\n

Representatives from the parish councils affected by the closure of the road between Blandford and Shaftesbury visited the site with county council officers earlier this month (9 July).
\nThe escorted visit showed residents the reasons for shutting the road and showed where soil samples have been taken to help the engineers design a solution to stabilise the slopes.
\nThe C13 through Melbury Abbas was closed by Dorset County Council following investigations that revealed the steep slopes were unstable.
\nThere is a diversion along the A350 between Blandford and Shaftesbury bypassing this closure.
\nThe county council has been working with Dorset Police and local communities on the A350, C13 and surrounding roads to reduce the use of \u2018rat runs\u2019 and remind drivers of the speed limits through the villages.<\/p>\n

Extra Speed Indicator devices (SIDs), temporary flashing signs that warn drivers who are speeding, have also been installed.<\/p>\n

Cllr Deborah Croney, county councillor for Hambledon, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe site visit was very helpful. Ideas about the closure were discussed alongside current and future traffic issues.
\n\u201cThe county council\u2019s highways team have been analysing road usage and speeds affected routes. Details of data collected will be published soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
