\"C13\"<\/a>\"DCC\"<\/a>
\nHGVs going one way<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A possible solution to the problems of HGVs travelling between Blandford and Shaftesbury is being trialled from next week.<\/p>\n

Dorset County Council has discussed the issue with local and national haulage companies to try and alleviate the problems caused when two large vehicles try and pass each other along the narrower sections on these roads.<\/p>\n

A trial of an unofficial, voluntary HGV one-way system will start on Monday 20 July. HGV, who are taking part, will travel north<\/strong> towards Shaftesbury on the A350<\/strong> and south<\/strong> <\/em>towards Blandford on the C13<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cllr Peter Finney, county council Cabinet member for environment, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis solution will not reduce the number of HGVs using these routes, but it will lessen the likelihood of two HGV\u2019s [sic] travelling in opposite directions trying to pass each other at a pinch point. This causes disruption and delays to all highway users and impacts on local communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first of a number of initiatives to reduce the impact on roads in North Dorset. We will continue to work with local communities to find more solutions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The trial will continue until the C13<\/strong> at Melbury Abbas is closed again when work will start on stabilising Dinah\u2019s Hollow<\/strong>. The road has been closed for over a year due to the risk to road users from the unstable slopes. A date for this work has not been set.<\/p>\n
