Chobham Road, Sunningdale – Petition to Reduce Weight Limit
A petition was submitted to Council on 22nd
September 2015 by Councillor Mrs Bateson, which reads:
‘…We, the undersigned, wish the RBWM to consider
reducing the recently implemented 18 tonne weight limit on the
Chobham Road railway bridge to a maximum of 7.5 tonnes. We are
concerned that the large lorries pose a safety risk due to the
narrow road over the bridge. Large vehicles are forced to cross the
central double-white line on a bend where visibility is limited and
oncoming traffic may not see them in time…’
The Mayor agreed that this petition should be submitted to Cabinet
for consideration.
This report will respond to the petition and recommend a way
forward for consideration by Cabinet.
