Vehicles weighing over 7.5 tonnes will be banned from driving through a Havering village following a campaign by residents and their MP.
The Heavy Goods Vehicle ban, which begins tomorrow (May 11), will prevent large lorries from travelling through Rainham village, Upminster Road South and Wennington Road.
CCTV cameras will be introduced to enforce the ban, and lorries that are not exempt will receive fines for driving through the area.
Last August Cllr David Durant, who is responsible for the Rainham and Wennington ward, recommended the use of the cameras to deter drivers traveling to and from the industrial estates on Ferry Lane and Lamson Road from using the village roads.
