RESIDENTS are trying to ban HGVs and other large vehicles from using certain roads they claim are being ‘choked’ by a “huge increase” in their number.
Great Kingshill Residents’ Association is campaigning Bucks Council to prohibit various large vehicles from driving through parts of the village, some of which they claim have no business being there.
An online petition was started due to “a huge increase in the number of HGVs, coaches, skip lorries and demolition vehicles using its small, narrow roads.”
It attributes some of this to HS2 and the Binders Yard Industrial Estate, adding: “At present we are seeing circa 30 lorries per day just in Cockpit Road alone, which becomes very narrow around Common Road and is peppered with parked cars on one side.”
