Letter from Cllr Hume re B1008.
Cllr Hume wrote Similar to other requests that have been
received for A and B roads, an environmental weight restriction
would not normally be considered for this classification of road as it
is an important route in our hierarchy.
It would be expected that all types of vehicles would use this
classification of road rather than finding ways through the country
lanes in the surrounding area.
It could also set precedence for other B roads in the area that
in the past have requested the same restriction, most notably for the
B183 and B184.
Although the route has been downgraded to a B road The Department for
Transport, when allowing the re-classification, stated that the route
should be available to all traffic.
