***UPDATE***
The road to the surgery from the Moor (The Blue Vinny end) is finished!! Please can we help the team working on the road by entering and leaving Backwater from this end.
Thank you to the team from Dorset Council Highways for ensuring every customer got to and from Piddle Valley Vets with the minimum disruption
** Roadworks alert ** following on from the rebuilding of the retaining wall to the River Piddle last year, Dorset Council highways are resurfacing Backwater and Mill Street. For much of next week there will be rolling road closures. Please be prepared to follow directions from council workers as to how to access the vets. On each day, as they remove, then relay the surface directly outside the surgery there will be a short period where access is very difficult but it will only be brief (up to 20 minutes). We will be making allowances and waiting for you if you are held up. Obviously if it is an emergency and you are held up in the village then call the surgery and we'll get out to you. Thanks David, Katie and the team here at Piddle Valley Vets
