Surrey County Council confirmed on the 23rd June that the experimental prohibition of Heavy Goods Vehicles in Weybridge will be made permanent.
In the long consultation that ran from 25 October 2024 to 1 May 2025 86% of respondents supported the ban.
Enforcement of the ban will be with the installation of an Automatic Number Plate Recognition camera on Brooklands Road so that penalty charge notices can be issued to drivers. We hope that this will herald an end to HGVs forcing other vehicles onto the pavement at the Balfour Road roundabout junction and to their frequent damaging of the railings.
So far there has been no improvement in the volume of HGVs day and particularly night time when the noise of them crashing up and down the hill and over speed bumps by The Waverley traffic lights on Heath Road sounds like a car crash. It can be difficult to hold a conversation in my garden over the noise.
