A ROAD in West Dorset has been closed due to a fallen tree and power cables.

The road between Pymore Lane and Ash Lane in Wooth, near Bridport, is affected.

A spokesman for Western Power Distribution confirmed a tree was down on that road.

They said WPD was responsible for overhead power cables in the area but added: "The tree is not touching our cables. Our engineers are on-site now and our cables are not affected."
