SAVE THE DATE This will be a full day survey 7.00am to 7.00pm
Holcot sits within a 7.5t weight limit area, meaning that the only vehicles over this weight limit allowed are those making a delivery or receiving goods from within the weight limit area.
Unfortunately this weight restriction continues to be broken by some hauliers and truck drivers, this was evidenced by a recent survey undertaken by the Parish Council over a month but taken at different times of the day. This data has been provided to the police who are responsible for the policing of this weight restriction, however no noticeable reduction to this unauthorised traffic has occurred. The Parish Council has decided to provide further information regarding the continuing breach of the regulations by undertaking a whole day’s survey.
The HGV traffic causes pollution, damage to parish properties close to the affected roads, damage to verges and serious congestion when these Juggernauts attempt to utilise our narrow roads as well as danger to Pedestrians. The surrounding areas to Holcot are being significantly developed and unless action is taken the situation is only going to get worse.?
If you would like to help by giving up an hour of your time, please contact Cllr Chris Bailey.
