Anger as yet another lorry gets stuck St Keverne farmers who end up bailing out lorries getting stuck in the narrow country lanes around the village, are being urged by chairman of the parish council,, Mr Walter Sanger, to send a bill for their expenses to Cornwall County Council Highways Department. The problem was highlighted again on Monday when a Cormac lorry became stuck in the hamlet of Trennance, and local farmer, Mr David Lambrick, of Trenoweth, had to stop work to haul it out. The same lorry then got stuck again later in the day and for the second time in six months, Mr Bernard Barnes of Rosemerryn, Porthoustock, found he had a lorry trapped by the side of his house.
