A BOURNEMOUTH road will be closed to traffic in one direction for a whole day due to a flu clinic at a doctor's surgery.

Gervis Road will be closed eastbound between Gervis roundabout and St Swithun's roundabout on Tuesday, September 29, except for patients accessing the service at The Panton Practice.

A temporary traffic regulation notice from BCP Council, which was authorised at short notice on September 22, says the measure will be in force from 7.30am until 6.30pm.

It adds that the closure is necessary "to assist patients attending the flu clinic at the Gervis Road surgery".
