Introduce a 7.5 ton weight limit on Redhill Road, Cobham

We the undersigned petition Surrey County Council to Introduce a 7.5 ton weight limit on Redhill Road, Cobham

Residents are constantly disturbed and inconvenienced by HGV drivers sleeping in cabs both during the day and overnight. The waste they leave behind in unacceptable and a weight limit will force them to seek alternative designated HGV parks such as Cobham Services and not use residential streets. Planning Inspectors recently dismissed an appeal, and the company currently using a site on this road as an HGV park have been forced to find an alternative site. We want our leafy country road back for our enjoyment not as a lorry park. The weight limit will achieve this.
