HGV toolkit

The attached link is available on the Buckinghamshire Council website for residents and parish councils who are concerned about periods where HGV movements may appear to increase through our local villages.

As I have received quite a few emails recently from residents and parish councils alike regarding HGV movements which I have reported to our Freight Strategy officer, he has explained how it is helpful to first capture information about the trucks, dates, timings and the operators’ livery to allow his team to identify which companies may be using which routes.

The freight toolkit which is available on the webpage via the link below includes useful information and a survey template for capturing this information.

Please do note that there is some safety information in the toolkit for residents and representatives to carry out the survey.

Once we have more specific information to hand, our Freight Strategy officer will be in a better position to reach out to operators to discuss how best to take things forward for the benefit of both residents and businesses alike.

I hope this is helpful. Have a nice weekend!

Best wishes,

Councillor Anne Wight
