I received this email from Jamie Simmons Police Community Support officer today about the setting up of a Lorry Watch scheme in the area and what the police have been doing about the HGV problem in Barrows Green Lane and Moorfield Road:
"I have emailed the council who originally stated that the council may possibly be able to do some observations under the Lorry Watch Idea without any bias. I have emailed them again today just to confirm this and also to mention that i would like the residents to remain a large part of the Lorry Watch also...
Our Road Policing Unit have paid some more attention to Barrows Green Lane and Moorfield Road in recent weeks and it seems either people are aware that they are there or the problems have not been as bad recently because after recieving an email from our RPU Liason officer she states that no tickets or warnings had been issued for any offences".
I must say that the area has been a little quiter of late but maybe I've not been around as much. Can any one else comment on this?
The police are wanting to know if anyone in Barrows Green Lane is interested in getting involved in a lorry watch scheme - so if there's any one out there who would be prepared to help (reporting incidents of HGV's on the road) please let us know!
Although it will be better if we get the full support of the council and police there's no reason why we couldn't set the scheme up ourselves if this doesn't work out.
