MAJOR ROAD WORKS are being carried out on the main Canford Bottom roundabout nearby to Glenacres Nursery. These are going to be in place until June by all accounts and will affect all our local roads. Throughout the course of the roadworks our local roads are going to be partly closed. Local traffic will be able to exit from our road and all the other roads back onto the Canford bottom roundabout and then journey on home via the A31 only. Traffic will not be able to use the Roundabout to enter any of the local roads such as ours only exit.
This means that to get to our Nursery you will need to approach from a different direction than you normally would. From Bournemouth or Poole you will need to approach via Longham and then through Stapehill lane past the Blueberry farm and turn left at the old thatch pub. From Ringwood dont use the ferndown bypass but turn off and come past sainsburys Ferndown and come through to us via the old A31 which is the eastern end of our road anyway.
From Dorchester & Wimborne you have the option of dropping down into Bournemouth and then following the route through Longham or you can travel east on the A31 and then turn off after the Canford bottom roundabout at the Ferndown Industrial estate turn off where you need to go through the estate then turn right at the far end, come past the old thatch and we are on the left 100 yds past wimborne garden centre, If your coming from Shaftesbury or North dorset then its best to approach via the Horton inn and onto the A31 nearer Ferndown.
If you need clearer directions please don’t hesitate to call. All this hassle has been brought on us by local governments insistance that This years summer Olympics sailing at Weymouth goes without a hitch and the traffic heading to it doesn’t get held up.
IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE IF YOU ARE VISITING US WHILE THESE WORKS ARE ON TO TRY AND ARRIVE DURING THE DAY ONCE THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HAS CLEARED. Saturdays tend to be busy at any time in this area because of the holiday traffic.
