Thanks for your comment. Although BOB is not one of the meeting organisers, my understanding is that residents of Bridge Road have long had traffic issues. Since Marshalls have extended their operations using larger and more frequent lorries, these issues have significantly increased and unfortunately culminating recently with a fatality at the junction with A370 where a Marshalls lorry was involved in the incident.

Running lorries. Up and down Bridge road for years, what is different now.
