6 Notice of Motion

Proposal by Cllr M Wilby

This committee:

Is concerned about the flow of HGV’s through towns and villages in Norfolk;
Recognises the concerns of local residents in affected areas about the resulting damage to the natural and built environment, as well as the risk to pedestrians;
Notes the particular effect of this along the B1111 between the A1066 and the A11 through the villages of East Harling, Garboldisham and Roudham;
Is aware that the HGV route hierarchy has not been updated for over 20 years, during which time lorry sizes have increased and many roads and villages have changed significantly. And, therefore will:

Pilot a modest revision of the HGV route hierarchy along the B1111 using the “A” roads i.e. the A11 and A1066 and
Examine the potential for similar revisions across the county, in other areas seriously affected.
