HGV's - Write to the Chief Con!

One of the ways we can try to do something about the issue of HGV's on Moorfield Rd and Barrows Green Lane is to write to the Chief Constable, Cheshie Police, Clemonds Hey, Oakmere Road Winsford Cheshire CW7 2UA.

You could use the template letter below:

I am writing to complain about the increasing number of heavy goods vehicles and the speeds they are travelling at in the road where I live

This road has a weight restriction of 7.5 tons and lorries, some of them accessing Rockwood’s plant in Moorfield Road, are ignoring this weight limit.

I understand that Rockwood’s are attempting to ensure that vehicles do not access Moorfield Rd and Barrows Green Lane but the problem continues.

Some of the drivers of these vehicles are foreign and understandably they sometimes might make a wrong turn but they are obviously breaking the law and we should try to ensure that this does not occur.

This has been a long standing problem and residents have contacted the police on several occasions without seemingly any action being taken. I appreciate that this might not be a priority but there are some families in the area with young children who are very concerned about the matter and these drivers are breaking the law.

I would be grateful for any assistance you can offer,
