A352 Closures and changes to the No 5 bus – April 2018

The A352 will be closed between Whitcombe and Broadmayne from the 26th April to the 4th May between 9:15 and 3:30pm.

The signed diversion will be via Warmwell, Osmington and Preston as the Highway authority have to divert traffic by using roads with a similar classification (in other words they can’t sign a diversion via West Knighton and the West Stafford by-pass or via Chalky Road and the Whitcombe stables).

Number 5 buses operating during the hours of closure will be re-routed and use the bus-stops on the opposite side of Knighton Lane to normal.

Buses will go into Dorchester at 10:17, 12:19 and 15:19 travelling UP Knighton Lane to West Knighton and then using the West Stafford by-pass (the 07:55 and the 17:38 will not be affected)

Buses leaving Dorchester at 10:35 and 13:35 will return through West Knighton travelling DOWN Knighton Lane (the 08:35, the 15:55 and the 17:55 will not be affected).

Good Friday Pilgrimage

This year, art installations were situated at various Stations of the Cross on the route of the Good Friday pilgrimage around the Watercombe Benefice and were very well received.

Each was created by a local community or church group, and thanks go to them from the Friends of Watercombe Benefice Churches for the hard work and creativity involved in making them.
