Mitchells gravel lorries
Has anyone noticed how many Mitchells lorries are using Bengeo Street, either full or empty, I have counted 6 in the last few days!
Is there any large building projects going on in the Bengeo area??

On my way home from work on Tuesday afternoon, just after 4:00 pm, there was a B.P. Mitchell lorry on St Andrew Street that had just turned out of Cowbridge. I then saw another ahead of me on Port Hill and then I passed another one on Bengeo Street that was heading in the opposite direction. At least one of these was carrying a full load. I may be mistaken but isn't there supposed to be a weight restriction on the old railway bridge on Port Hill, and are these lorries exceeding that if there is one?

There's a new thread on Ware Online about work to a footpath in Ware Park (
http://www.wareonline.co.uk/haveyoursay/topic.php?id=2846). They are laying hardcore. Could they be accessing via Bengeo Street?

As far as I know, the only access to Ware Park from Bengeo Street is along New Road, but I don't think the lorries are going down there. They seem to be heading to or coming from the direction of Wadesmill Road.

The lorries are going straight through Bengeo, yes there is a weight limit, does anyone know who I can get in touch with over this? the poor old bridge at the bottom of Port Hill suffers enough !!! I feel sick everytime I go over it, so bumpy! the hole that they filled in has re-appeared.

Weight restrictions are enforced by the Police.
Herts Highways can repair the potholes - suggest you report through the online fault reporting system.
