A lorry has crashed into a footbridge on the A31 eastbound between St Ives and the Ashley Heath roundabout.
Work has started on significant improvements to the Castleman Trailway between Ashley Heath and West Moors by Dorset Council.
Residents in Verwood and surrounding towns and villages now need to register their vehicles to ensure free access to the Somerley Household Waste Recycling Centre.
The A31 from Ferndown to St Leonard’s will be closed overnight for three months for street lighting upgrades.
Around 150 firefighters from across Dorset are currently dealing with two large heath fires to the south and north of Verwood.
