Public Notice - Temporary Closure of Public Bridleway (Warbler Park)

Published: 26 September 2025

Restriction details and works description: TTRO - Countryside - footpath - Description of work and restrictions required
Lytchett Minster and Upton Town Council are in the process of improving the area previously occupied by the Town Skate Ramp at land they own (Warbler Park). The existing paths that run through the area are constantly washing out and require improvements to their surfaces. Contractors have been approached and provided pricing and timescales to lay suitable sub base material and top dressing on the existing footpath. The Council have approved the works and funding and it is hoped to complete before the weather turns inclement for this kind of work.

To enable this work to be completed safely, it is proposed and required to close the footpath running from Warbler Close, Upton, BH16 5RL. W3W beans.librarian.almost
To
Aldi Service layby, Blandford Road, BH16 6AA. W3W location cubs.posed.tides
Heavy machinery will be operating for the duration of the works and it would not be safe to allow public access to the path during this time. An alternative route is available just to the North (see supporting documentation).
