Help BCC plan for tomorrow's lorry traffic

Parishioners will recall the formation of an HGV traffic action group with neighbouring Parish Councils to obtain data on HGV traffic through village roads and the group’s subsequent lobbying and presentation to Bucks County Council.

Residents and businesses are now being invited to help plan how to handle tomorrow's rail and road freight in Buckinghamshire. Heavy lorries make up between 10% and 20% of traffic on main routes through the county, and with a steady increase in freight forecast over the next decade, County Council transport planners want to prepare for the future. They’re asking people to help them identify local problem areas, explore untapped opportunities, and pinpoint solutions.

A ten-minute online snapshot survey will run until 6th July at www.buckscc.gov.uk/freight to allow residents and businesses to feed into their thinking. Please take time to fill in the survey. The results will inform a draft strategy for full consultation later in the year.
