New weekend and Bank Holiday 5:30 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. bridge lifts for the Summer.

New 7.30 a.m. lifts on weekdays too.

 

Really handy for those us who can't quite squeeze under at all states of the tide....

Notice to Mariners No. 10/2007

Poole Lifting Bridge

 

As a result of recently approved legislation, the Council has been able to approve minor changes to the Poole bridge lifting schedule on a trial basis for Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays between 1 July and 30 September 2007. The new schedule will be as follows:‑

 

07.30 09.30 10.30 12.30 14.30 16.30 17.30 18.30 19.30 21.30

 

No on-demand lifts for commercial vessels will be permitted between 16.00 and 20.00, excepting vessels over 40m long.

 

The current schedule of 07.30 09.30 10.30 12.30 14.30 16.30 18.30 and 21.30 for weekdays and the rules for unscheduled lifts will remain in force for the time being.

 

It is intended that this new schedule will also be implemented between 1 April and 30 September 2008.

 

The Bridges Operating Board is also considering further refinements to improve navigational safety in the area. The Bridges Operating Board is made up of the following:‑

Chairman - Peter Booth
