Neighbourhood Development Plan

The preparation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan for the parish of Kenn is well under way.

Overweight HGV's

7.5 ton weight restriction - call for evidence

Email: clerk@kennparishcouncil.co.uk

As all residents of Kenn and Kennford will be aware there has been a 7.5 ton weight limit for heavy goods vehicles passing through the main roads of Kenn & Kennford (except for access) for 2 years.

There are many instances of very large lorries ignoring the signage and driving through Kennford or through Kenn.

The Parish Council, Devon and Cornwall Police, and the Management of Costal recycling have joined forces to tackle the problem.

We need your help to gather up to date evidence of this disregard for the regulation that is putting all other road users and pedestrians in danger.

To help identify the vehicle operators, can we ask anyone witnessing a large vehicle driving through the village, PLEASE TAKE A PHOTO, front, or rear of the vehicle and email it to the email address above.

You do not need to do anything else; a photo will give all the information we need to challenge the culprits.

Together we will make the village safer for all.

Thank you.
