Do officers within the council understand just how detrimental the noise,vibration, and disturbance from HGV traffic can be? Well yes they do actually! -
In November 2005, when we were still trying to get the council to listen to us, a highways department report (Design and Cost Report -Capital Scheme No: 01881 - Agenda Item No 1653/2005) was put to the council Director of City Services, supporting an HGV ban on Cross Green Lane, Cross Green. One of the reasons for the HGV ban was:
2.4 Many operators run 24 hours a day 7 days a week and so there is no respite for the residents.
Section 4.1 confirms the support of the local councillors.
At the time correspondence was sent from us to the leader of the council, Andrew Carter, asking why we weren't regarded with the same concern. We'll let you know the answer when we receive a reply!
