3.Reduce vehicle size limit to 7.5 ton
4.Build a bypass to make our community safer.

• HGV’s often cannot safely pass other heavy goods vehicles coming in the opposite direction and often mount the pavement to pass each other.
• HGV’s veer onto the opposite side of the road due to unsuitable lanes for this size of vehicle.
• HGV’s have difficultly turning bends due to the size of lanes and often have to cover both lanes blindly to turn.
• Mini round about often ignored by vehicles (including HGV’s)
• Property’s physically shaking as the large vehicles drive past
