Officials will be monitoring two Nottinghamshire roads which HGVs have been travelling down rather than using the Gedling Access Road (GAR). Despite the introduction of a weight limit on Arnold Lane and Shearing Hill in Gedling, the area's MP says residents in the area have reported concerns about the number of HGVs using the routes.
Nottinghamshire County Council confirmed that the weight limit stands at 7.5 tonnes for the two roads, with the recently opened GAR being available for larger vehicles. Also known as Colliery Way, the 3.8km GAR officially opened last March with the aim of easing congestion in Gedling village by joining the A612 to Mapperley Plains.
Tom Randall, the Conservative MP for Gedling, posted on Monday (April 3) about the concerns raised by some residents in regards to Arnold Lane and Shearing Hill. In particular, he said many had mentioned HGVs serving the British Car Auctions (BCA) site at the Victoria Business Park in Netherfield.
