School transport area Update

Beaminster

Upcoming Broadwindsor road closure from 15-09-2025 until 27-09-2025
MB005 – Morning route is unaffected; the afternoon route will have to change slightly for the last drop off.  This driver will have to make the detour which looking at the route should only make them around 5 minutes later than the scheduled drop off times.

SB006 – This one is affected on the morning run but not the afternoon.  The 1st collection off on this one will require about a 5-minute detour so hopefully with the driver bearing this is mind this one should be running on time.

MB009 – The morning run is not affected but the afternoon will be needing to make around a 10-minute detour which will only affect the final bus stop.
