The agreement with all 32 London boroughs is a "major step forward", according to the Freight Transport Association. Chris Tindall reports.
THE FREIGHT Transport Association says it has secured agreements with all 32 London boroughs to double kerbside loading and unloading times for LGVs to 40 minutes.
London Councils, which represents the boroughs, proposes that if deliveries or collections take longer then Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) should still not be issued. It also recommends that the new rules apply during the operating time of the yellow lines, instead of until 1 lam.
Westminster City Council has already said it will begin a trial scheme, hopefully starting next month, that will allow 40-minute kerbside deliveries after 11 am. However, the trial will only apply to larger delivery vehicles not vans FTA policy manager Gordon Telling says Westminster's decision to differentiate between vehicle sizes will be difficult to manage and could result in operators sending LGVs for journeys normally undertaken by vans.
He also questions the lack of a time frame for implementation, which was discussed by the boroughs, including the Corporation of London.
However, he describes the news as a -major step forward".
-PCNs issued for overstaying on a 20-minute kerb space is one of the most frustrating problems for conscientious operators that instead have to split jobs up and make multiple visits to sites, generating extra traffic," he say& "We acknowledge the pressure London is under to accommodate more people, businesses and buses over the next decade and are working with partners on a range of measures to improve traffic management and London's environment. That process is now bearing fruit and we look forward to further engagement with partners in the future.
