Re-routed lorry clips trees, blocking road


AHAULAGE company has apolo- gised for damage caused by a lorry to trees on a country road, writes Jade Schopman. The HGV broke branches and


scattered debris along a back road betweenUlcombe andHeadcorn on September 12. The road has a ton- nage and height restriction for vehi- cles to avoid damaging overhead cables and trees. The lorry clippeda tree anda sub-


stantial part of it broke over the lorry, leaving the road blocked for some time.Motoristswere forced to swerve around obstacles and feared damage to their vehicles. The lorry belonged to Essex sup-


ply firm, TheWoodlandGroup. Headcorn borough councillor,


Martin Round, said: “A number of farmers, residents and our parish councils have suffered greatly by this act, particularly with the extra costs. Lorries travel through that road frequently, despite the fact there is a limit.”


The Woodland Group said in a


statement: “Due to road works and road closures on the driver’s route, hewas forced to followa diversion. “We apologise for the inconven-


iences caused and will attempt to findan alternate route for thisdeliv- ery locationuntil thepreferredroute becomes viable again.”


Drivers flout bans THE issue of lorries flouting bans


continues on the B2163 between- Hollingbourne and Langley. DownsMail highlighted the issue


severalmonths ago and Kent Police released figures which showed vir- tually no enforcement had taken place in the previous 12months. A Langley resident said: “The po-


lice haven’t taken any notice and that means the lorry drivers don’t either. They don’t have to – there is no enforcement.”


WoodlandGroup’s vehicle boasts


the slogan: “WE CARE,WE CON- NECT,WEDELIVER”. Cllr Round said: “The route


should have been much better planned. This wasn’t the first lorry to godown that roadandit certainly won’t be the last.Thedriverwas fol- lowing other guidance because of the road closures, but the re-route was just inappropriate.”
