HGV Watch for Clockhouse Lane

Overview

There has been a weight restriction on Clockhouse Lane for some time now. Surrey County Council require volunteers to help with HGV Watch by carrying out observations of HGV's contravening the 7.5T restriction on Clockhouse Lane. With your help we can reduce the number of vehicles entering the restriction and ultimately prevent them. By taking the time to answer a few questions we can gauge how much interest we have and create a group to observe at convienient times.

We aim to reduce the number of HGV’s using the road and for the keepers to educate their drivers who consistently contravene to make changes in routes, allow more time for their drivers to make their deliveries and potentially take disciplinary action where drivers ignore the advice.

If the evidence shows a significant number of vehicles repeat offending it may be the case we can enforce the restriction via CCTV, and issue penalties to those who keep offending.

Surrey County Council have designed an online form for making observations where you can report vehicle details and can upload photographic evidence. You would fill out the form either on site or later answering as many of the questions you can. This data will feed into Surreys own database, and we can make the necessary decisions on what action needs to be taken.

Surrey County Council will work with the information from observations to significantly reduce and potentially stop HGV’s from entering the restriction creating clean, safe & green communities.

Thank you for your time and we do hope you can help.

Why your views matter

Your views matter as this is your community and you will aid Surrey County Council in solving the problem at hand and prevent HGV's from breaking the restriction. In order to build groups we need some information from you, which will be kept confidential.

What happens next

Once we have the results from the survey we will arange to put groups together and provide training and introductions to recording HGV's through Surreys database. Ultimately with the observations you undertake we will speak with the keepers of the HGV's and work towards reducing the number of HGV's breaking the restriction.
