With the UK adoption of EU standards for weight restrictions, the 17 Tonnes weight limit changed to 18 Tonnes. The impact of this is that lorries previously restricted by the 17 Tonnes limit are now allowed, as they fall short of the new 18 Tonnes limit.
Some residents of the village protested about the relaxation and subsequent increase in large lorries through the village. Nottinghamshire County Council have responded to complaints about the relaxation of the Sutton Lane weight restriction.
If you’re not happy with the response (!) then please send your comments to don.gray@nottscc.gov.uk who I’m sure will be only too happy to receive them.
