Did you know, reporting highways and pavement issues to Dorset Council is straightforward on their website or their designated telephone number. This could be potholes or blocked drains amongst lots of other things. We understand the works list is in part formulated from public reports through this service, the more reports of an issue, the higher up the list of repairs the issue goes. We will be reporting the drains and debris now growing in the road in the dip/chicane on Smugglers Lane near the school crossing patrol as this routinely floods across the pavement forcing the pupils walking to and from St Michaels into the bushes or road. We would of course appreciate as many residents as possible doing the same, as well as any other issues, so that hopefully this can be dealt with before winter sets in. The reporting form is currently being updated but will be back in action on 28th September. Emergencies can be telephoned through on 01305 221020

By using our online services instead of calling or emailing, you're helping us cut down on administration costs - savings that go straight into delivering essential highways services.

We encourage all Colehill residents to attend the event, whether or not you receive the leaflet, and to provide your views on the proposals.
In addition, after you’ve seen the exhibition, please let us know what you think about the proposals so that we can reflect your views in our own feedback if/when a formal planning application is submitted.
