Hi, I’d like to ask if the police could undertake some enforcement of the 7.5t weight restriction on Thornhill Park Rd. There has for the past 6mths at least been a steady increase of hgv’s, in particular fully loaded lorries carrying ballast & cement cutting through the weight restriction located between Bitterne Rd east & kane’s hill rbt. The legal Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) only permits vehicles over 7.5t to use the route if it’s destination is within the restriction, not to use as a route through. I’ve witnessed hgv’s weighing 30t + pass school children waiting at the pedestrian crossings which travel down to the building sites in Botley. I do take photos and speak to companies, TJ Waste were excellent & apologetic but others are v difficult. Just as a note I am a Senior Traffic & Network Engineer (13 yrs at SCC & 9yrs at PCC) so am an expert in legal TRO’s, traffic signal jct design, major traffic flow on the network etc so can assist in anyway required with this or other issues.
