Issue - meetings

It is proposed that a new traffic regulation order is made imposing the 18 tonne weight limit on Chertsey Bridge on environmental grounds, including the standard exemptions that would normally apply to an environmental weight limit.

It was agreed that:

1.    a notice is advertised in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effects of which would be to revoke any existing traffic orders necessary, and impose an 18 tonne weight limit across Chertsey Bridge on environmental grounds including the exemptions detailed in Annex 2; and

2.    any objections to the Traffic Regulation Order should be considered and resolved by the Cabinet Member for Highways in consultation with the North West and North East Area Highways Managers and the Chairmen of the Runnymede and Spelthorne Joint Committees, and

3.    the Order be made once any objections have been considered and resolved.
