It is hoped that Lorry Watch will help to empower local communties, by providing local residents with the opportunity to report examples of inappropriate driving of HCVs to the County Council, through a local coordinator.  The County Council can investigate alleged breaches of exisiting weight limits and contact the operators of the vehicles, if appropriate.

It is considered that this type of approach will offer local residents the opportunity to monitor the roads in their villages and also enable operators to explain the reasons for their vehicles using the roads in these communities.
