Huge lorry damaging trees and causing congestion.

Reported via desktop anonymously at 16:33, Thursday 18 April 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5871388.

I just witnessed a huge construction lorry heading towards Farrans' Widmore Park Village construction site off Blounts Court Road, Sonning Common cause complete traffic gridlock and damage several trees as it passed along the road through Harpsden and up Devils Hill. This is a single track road with passing places and is completely unsuitable for a low loader carrying a construction vehicle on the back of it. The vehicle had registration no. L5 VPH. I had to wait over 10 minutes for it to pass me and was required to reverse around 400 metres since the nearest passing places were insufficiently wide. In the wake of the vehicle was lots of debris from all of the branches of trees that it took with it as it drove along the road.

    This one? (BTW, why do people post anonymously? Wouldn't a name or at least a pseudonym add credibility, and continuity?)
