Following complaints from residents District Councillor Charmaine Morgan has contacted LCC Member for Grantham South Cllr Adam Stokes to call for weight restriction on Harrowby Road, Grantham.
She said:-
‘We are noting a significant increase in hgvs using Harrowby Rd, Grantham.
This road narrows with slope outside the St Anne’s School and has a blind bend.
It is not suited to the size of vehicle now using it which includes construction dumper trucks.
My own car has been written off once and subsequently we have lost several wing mirrors.
Residents living on the corner of Harrowby Rd and Bridge End Rd are suffering from the vibrations and noise as the vehicles brake and turn outside their home.
This residential road is becoming an inappropriate rat run and our community needs protection from the additional hazard, dust and noise from these vehicles.
Please advise the process required for weight restriction and commence that process ASAP.
We are aware coaches stop at St Anne’s School. If possible an exemption should be made for these.’
