Last year, the Purley & Woodcote councillors ran a petition calling on the Council to introduce a weight restriction on Heavy Good Vehicles (HGVs) in the Plough Lane area to address the volume and speed of these vehicles, road damage, increased noise and pollution levels. This was submitted by Councillor Holly Ramsey.
We’re pleased that following a consultation, the Council has confirmed its intention to proceed with the implementation of these restrictions covering the Russell Hill area (covering Plough Lane, Highfield Road, Hillcrest Road, Ensign Close, Atalanta Close, Russell Hill, More Close and Russell Hill Road).
As Plough Lane and Hillcrest Road come under both Croydon and Sutton, the London Borough of Sutton have been informed of this decision.
Council officers have advised us that they are in the processing to delivering this project and will be able to set out a programme soon.
