Storrington & Sullington,West Sussex,UK :: Storrington Truck Watch

Storrington Truck Watch

The Parish Council has set up a "Truck Watch" programme in which all residents are encouraged to report heavy goods vehicles that are using the village and its access roads as a "rat run", causing further lowering of the air quality.

The County Council has published and distributed an HGV Advisory Routes Map, which promoted the use of the A24, A29, and the A27 - it is encouraging to note that Storrington does not feature on this map! Hauliers, despite having been issued with copies, are choosing to allow their drivers to use the A283 and B2139 through Storrington, contrary to the map.

It is vitally important that as many residents as possible report any HGVs that are obviously "passing through", by e-mailing the Parish Clerk at -

storringtonclerk@btconnect.com

or call Tracey on 01903 746547

Please provide the registration number, name of the company, the time of sighting and direction the truck was travelling.

Operation Crackdown

Should any resident in Storrington witness anti-social driving behaviour, such as overtaking in a 30mph limit, excessive speeding etc, then it is also important that you report this to the Sussex Police via Operation Crackdown. Once one report has been logged, then a second will prompt the Sussex Police to approach the driver concerned, so it can be effective.

The on-line reporting form and further details are at - Operation Crackdown
