Western Road will be closed through Canford Cliffs in Poole from tomorrow due to a gas leak.

Due to some confusion between Southern Gas Network (SGN) and the Borough of Poole it was believed that the road was closed this evening.

However SGN has now confirmed the closure will be taking place from tomorrow morning.

An SGN spokesman said: "Following discussions with the local authority we are planning to begin emergency repair work to our gas main in Western Road tomorrow morning.

"To ensure everyone’s safety, Western Road will be closed between its junction with Beach Road and Pinecliff Road.

"A signed diversion route will be in place for motorists via Beach Road.

"At this stage it is too early to say when our repair will be complete, but we’ll do everything we can to complete our work as quickly as possible.

"We would like to thank motorists and local residents for their patience while we carry out this essential work.
