More lorries
Well the lorries haven’t lessened apparently, despite it being rather quiet on the web reporting front. They seem to be travelling early in the morning or late at night, which is at least a little less disruptive for other road users, even if still a nuisance for residents. Please keep reporting…
This was a Lambert Brothers Haulage truck trying to turn left from Chalkpit Lane up to Manor Farm on 2 August 2013
These two lorries were spotted at 20.10 on Sunday 18th August passing the Black Swan – it looks like they were probably Co-op bound.
Bollard Styles
Below are the various bollard styles that are suitable for village conservation areas, along with the dimensions. Please vote for your favoured style. Voting closes on 6 August 2013.
All bollards are durable hardwood and harmonise well with natural environments. The Ashdown & Epping ranges of bollards are extremely strong and have a good fire resistance, and are made from strong hardwoods such as greenheart, wallabe or opepe. The Garrick bollards are made from oak. Although more choices were shown at the EGM, only the bollards that are between 800-1000mm high are shown, as this height was recommended for protection against HGVs.

Lorry 24 July
Spotted on the High Street this afternoon
In the dead of night
Report from a High Street resident
At 1.03am this morning (24 July) an HGV lorry was trying to squeeze past the Mucky Duck. Residents were woken by the commotion and several men looked like they were trying to move cars or find away through. The lorry had all hazard lights on …… Why was it here?
More lorries…
Slight delay in getting the information online – sorry.
This lorry was passing The Black Swan at 1pm on Thursday 11 July, causing customers to remark on ‘how dangerous’ it is to now go to the pub!
This Parker Steel lorry below was photographed on Friday 12 July at 4pm, blocking the High Street and causing traffic disruption. The second photo shows people on the street trying to direct traffic.
Lorry at Sunnybank 19 July
Friday 19 July at 10.15pm
Reported by John Chaffey, Sunnybank
“A Nordstrom lorry drove right into Sunnybank and drove up towards the play area and then back up the close 2 or 3 times before turning and going back out, lights flashing and of course reversing beepers going. It was massive – juggernaut size. Tried to get picture but it was too dark. The new ‘No HGV’ sign is too small, in the wrong place and not illuminated at night.”
That was close!
Rather too close – lorry outside The Stables, Monxton on Monday 22 July

Damage to car on the high street – 6/7/13
Damage to a Land Rover Discovery wing mirror – discovered on Saturday morning 6 July 2013. At this height it suggests the car was hit either by another 4×4 or a lorry. Sadly, no note was left admitting responsibility.
