This would involve putting in a weight restriction of 7.5 tonnes on York Grove, Queens Road and Clifton Way. This would prevent HGVs from entering all of these roads between 11pm and 7am.

This would only put a weight restriction of 7.5 tonnes on the section of road shown between 11pm and 7am. This would prevent HGVs using the section shown but the rest of Astbury Road would be be unrestricted.

Option 2 plan

We think these changes will help create a safer and more pleasant environment for residents and road users, but we want to hear your views.
