Bath's lorries are coming our way
Despite strong representations from Wiltshire Council and an expression of concern from the Highways Agency it now seems likely that Bath & NE Somerset council will press ahead with their plans to put an experimental weight limit on Cleveland Bridge on the A36, forcing HGVs to find alternative routes. Despite previous understandings BaNES are also refusing to help with monitoring traffic flows in Wiltshire. However Wiltshire's transport supremo Dick Tonge has agreed to install traffic counters on routes which are vulnerable to increased freight traffic, including the B3105 through Staverton, at Wiltshire Council's expense.
