Chobham Road, Sunningdale - Petition to Reduce Weight Limit from 18T to 7.5T (Consultation Results)
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…’
Cabinet received a report on 26th November 2015 and resolved to undertake a consultation on reducing the weight limit with the results reported to Cabinet on 25th February 2016.
