Work to build a new roundabout at Miles Cross will start next January - and take about half a year to complete. The new infrastructure to make the A35 junction at Symondsbury safer comes ahead of the building of the vast Vearse Farm housing development on the western edge of Bridport. A total of 760 homes are being built at the site. The development is expected to support more than 2,000 jobs and represents £6.5m of investment in the Bridport area. Bridport Town Council and Symondsbury Parish Council have established a stakeholder group to liaise with developers. The Vearse Farm Working Group includes a range of local organisations, and at a meeting this month they were introduced to the developers of housing and other infrastructure at the site, Vistry Partnerships and Barratt & David Wilson Homes.
