Part of South Street in Wareham is closed to vehicles and pedestrians because of concerns about the safety of a building.
South Street, from Trinity Lane to the Red Lion Pub, is closed to vehicles and pedestrians. The closure is in place to protect the public because there is a risk that debris could fall from the building and cause injury.
Please stay away from the area and do not go beyond the road closure, either on foot or by vehicle.
We are working with Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, local residents and businesses to manage the situation safely and minimise disruption. Dorset Council's Building Control team engineers are currently assessing the building and the road will remain closed until the area is safe. We will provide further updates as soon as more information is available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
