Tell the County Council: keep HGVs out of our villages!

East Sussex County Council

Many villages in East Sussex have alarming and unsafe levels of HGV traffic.

Yet it doesn’t have to be like this.

We call on East Sussex County Council to introduce a lorry route network similar to the one in West Sussex.

This is a network of suitable roads which all HGVs are expected to use, except for local access.

A lorry route network asks HGVs to take the best route, not just the shortest one, avoiding unsuitable, narrow and residential roads, and villages.

Please sign and share with friends, family and neighbours anywhere in East Sussex.

Thanks for signing!

We call on East Sussex County Council to introduce a lorry route network similar to the one in West Sussex, so that HGVs are redirected away from narrow local roads in our villages.

This is a network of suitable roads which all HGVs are expected to use, except for local access.

A lorry route network asks HGVs to take the best route, not just the shortest one, keeping them off unsuitable, narrow and residential roads, and away from villages.
