RESIDENTS have just a matter of days to have their say on whether a divisive weight limit on vehicles driving through parts of Burford should be made permanent.
The experimental measure was brought in last August and prevents heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) weighing more than seven and a half tonnes passing through the town in various roads.
The scheme was designed to promote road safety, reduce damage to roads and buildings, and cut congestion.
However, some local councillors wish to see the weight restriction removed due to the impact on the wider area.
Oxfordshire county councillor Liam Walker, who represents the Hanborough and Minster Lovell division, said: “What has become very clear since August last year is that this ban has resulted in local businesses having to use alternative routes that often cut through smaller villages like Minster Lovell, Crawley, or Leafield.
