A TOTAL OF 192 prosecutions for overloading were brought against road hauliers in the previous three months resulting in fines and costs of more than £11,000 according to Cheshire trading standards controller, Roger Manley.
"lf we prosecuted all the cases we detected we would need a big increase in staff and magistrates, courts would be more bogged down than they are already,he said
Councillor John Herbert said he believed some operators were "prepared to take risks overloading in order to make a quick profit."' Councillor Reg Worthington claimed that overloaded vehicles were playing havoc with road surfaces.
