Poole Road, Westbourne: eight weekdays of resurfacing work from Monday
12 September 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Drivers using Poole Road in Westbourne should plan ahead: a £480,000 resurfacing scheme gets under way on Monday 14 September, affecting the stretch between the Seamoor Road traffic signals and the Queens Road junction near Manor Court.
BCP Council's Neighbourhood Services team will carry out the work over eight weekdays, with the road reopening at weekends. That means disruption across the working week for the next fortnight or so, though the council has been liaising with local bus operators to keep services running as smoothly as possible.
The first day brings a 24-hour continuous shift starting at 6am, focused on repairing a deteriorated utility reinstatement outside the Tesco Express near Milburn Road — crews need to complete that deeper repair before the main resurfacing can begin. From Tuesday 15 September, the principal programme runs daily between 6am and 6pm, progressing eastward from the Seamoor Road end.
Residents along the route have already been notified. If you use this stretch regularly — whether on foot, by bike or by car — it is worth building in extra time from Monday morning. The weekend reopening schedule at least gives some respite for those Saturday trips into Westbourne. Full details from BCP Council.
