There was a directive from Government that required all Traffic Authorities to change their 17t limits on bridges to 18t limits and make the relative orders.
Traffic Authorities were given 5 years’ grace to carry out this work but it would appear that RBWM took an executive decision not to carry out the work.
We understand that all 17t weight limits on bridges within RBWM were rescinded by TSRGD 2002.
Please supply all paperwork and other emailed or spoken correspondence and discussion relating to the original executive decision not to carry out the Government directive, including why the RBWM decided not to comply, as well as who officially signed this off.
