New Vote Poll on weight limits

There's a new Vote Poll on Audlem Online asking: "Do you agree with weight limits on the A525 and A529 roads through Audlem?"

The A525 through Audlem has now been removed from the Primary Route Network, the routes used by long-distance HGVs. This means heavy trucks should use alternative routes instead of driving through the village.

To help enforce this, weight limits are being considered for some or all of Audlem's bridges. These weight limits will not affect farm vehicles and will still allow access for local deliveries, but are aimed purely at the long-distance trucks. Do you agree with weight limits on the A525 and A529 roads through Audlem?

Your response will be an important aspect of any application to the Highways authorities for the imposition of weight limits.

The previous Vote Poll on Audlem's public toilets produced a 60% vote for knocking them down. More on this shortly, and the experience of a group of visitors to Audlem last week who used the toilets.
