Country Lanes

There seems to be an increase in heavy vehicles using country lanes particularly when bypassing issues on A17 or A1. So verges get damaged and potholes appear and reappear. Plus in our village’s case buildings and cars can get damaged when lorries discover it’s not suitable to transit through too late. When this has been raised with the Council we have been told that access cannot be restricted; however, for safety and to protect our rural road system I think we need to put restrictions in place. Prevention is generally cheaper than cure after all.
