A428 project – HGV ID cards/magnets

/in Local News/by Clerk

We have been aware that many of you have been concerned about HGVs working on the A428 Project travelling through Abbotsley. This has never been allowed, but has been an on going issue.

We have been working with the A428 Project Team to stop this and we are pleased that the Team have just let us know about new measures that have been put in place to hopefully resolve this issue.

Mick George lorries are required to display ID papers:

As a clear reminder to drivers, on the reverse is a list of villages that they are not allowed to travel through, Abbotsley being one of them.

 

G Webb have magnets for the sides of the cab:

Mick George and G Webb do have other business, and drivers are still allowed to travel in HGVs through Abbotsley. However, if you see HGVs with this signage in the village, you will know that they are breaching the agreement and this can be reported to the Parish Council and/or National Highways.
