Have had further contact with Halton Trading Standards re setting up a Lorry Watch scheme in the Halton View area. Although Halton is amalgamating with Warrington Trading Standards this year and resources are limited they are prepared to start a pilot run in September.
They'll be using systems already developed in other parts of the country although there will be some fine tuning of it to fit in with local conditions.
Halton Green Party will be funding the start up of the programme (ie providing leaflets) but after the pilot it's hoped that the Area Forum will financially back the scheme if it proves successful and there is sufficient community support.
In the meantime I'm going to contact Network Rail (as two railway bridges are on the routes the scheme will cover) to see if they might be able to cough up some funding.
Off to Wales for the next couple of weeks so probably this will be the last blog until end of August.
Happy holidays if your lucky enough to be able to get away!!
