Area weight restrictions engagement
Oxfordshire County Council adopted a new Freight and Logistics Strategy in July 2022. The strategy included a commitment to expore an area based approach to weight restrictions. This action is now being progressed and a study is being conducted to investigate the feasibility of area based weight restrictions.
To help inform the study, they are inviting local people to share their views on where there are existing or potential future challenges with inappropriate Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) movements. It is important to clarify this is engagement to inform the study and not a consultation on proposals. These suggestions will be one piece of evidence used to help inform the outputs of the study.They are also analysing a range of data to ensure the outputs are evidence based.
The engagement activity runs from 10 March until 10 April 2023. Further information and the online activity can be found here: https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/area-weight-restrictions
