Fewer Lorries through Thurgarton and Southwell A campaign by Liberal Democrat Councillor Peter Harris has paid off. He has written to a number of Transport Companies that appeared to be sending lorries through Thurgarton and Southwell as part of longer journeys. C&G Concrete have now responded. "Their transport manager has written to all their drivers requiring them to turn left from the gravel quarry along the A612 rather than going through the village," reports Peter Harris. "This means that there are now sixteen fewer large articulated lorries travelling through Thurgarton every day. We hope to use C&G Concrete's example to other transport companies that do not have to use the A612 as a through route." |
