Weight restrictions on B6161

Published: 22 April 2023

Trading Standards enforces limits on behalf of Highways and has an agreed priority list for enforcement based on locations identified by Highways Area Offices. The service plan for 23/24 is still to be agreed but it is anticipated that the commitment would be in line with 22/23, that is enforcement of Cawood Bridge plus one day at a priority location each month. Within the Parish, the restriction at Killinghall was scheduled for two enforcement sessions last year and further sessions are planned for this year. Five drivers were prosecuted and were each fined £300 in March. A further six files are being processed from an exercise in February.

If a resident would like to make a complaint, they should be directed to the contact centre on 0300 131 2 131 or via the online form or webchat, please. They should identify the restriction concerned and it would be helpful if they could give a brief summary of the nature of the complaint, for example, is it the same vehicles repeatedly causing a problem? An officer will then be in touch in due course to discuss the situation.
