Eastbound closure of Wimborne Road East

1 July 2024 – 30 August 2024: Eastbound closure of Wimborne Road East between a point west of Clayford Avenue and a point east of Stanfield Road. This closure is to facilitate works to continue the cycleway link along Wimborne Road. East bound traffic will be diverted along Cobham Road. This work will inevitably cause traffic delays and inconvenience especially at the end of the working day when trying to access the A31.

Bus service serving Ferndown and Uddens Industrial Estates re-instated – thanks to local BID partnership with Morebus

Workers and visitors to Ferndown and Uddens Industrial Estates will once again have access to a dedicated bus service from Poole.

The FE1 service, which begins on Monday 20 February, is the result of a partnership between Morebus and the Ferndown and Uddens Business Improvement District (BID).

“We have been serving the industrial estates with our route 13 buses – but that means a significant walk for those working there,” said Morebus managing director, Andrew Wickham.

“Now, with investment from the BID, we are able to re-introduce our FE1 service – which was temporarily halted during the Covid pandemic. It runs from Poole via Ringwood Road – opening up the estate to those who don’t have cars as well as enabling those who do, to leave them at home and opt for sustainable transport instead.”

Danny Godfrey, chair of the BID, added: “The service, which costs £2 for a single ticket and £4 for a return, is aimed at employees but will also be available to people visiting the estates. It makes businesses on the estates accessible, especially for younger people, and means more people in the Poole area will have the opportunity to seek and maintain employment here – which can only be a good thing for businesses and the local community,”

The FE1 route from Poole to Ferndown and Uddens Industrial Estates – via Ringwood Road, Newtown, Alderney, Bear Cross and Longham – will run during times convenient to the businesses from Monday to Friday, except public holidays.
