THE FIRST of 2,5(X) warning and prohibition signs are being erected by the Greater London Council this week, advising of the night and weekend lorry ban which starts on January 31.
The entire set of signs made by British Legion war veterans — are all expected to be in place by mid-January.
Operators are continuing to make their plans for the ban and the GLC says around 200 • exemption applications are flowing into its offices every week, taking the total to more than 3,000.
It has had 100 applications from foreign operators — fewer than expected — but expects more of the 1,000 it sent out to be returned soon.
Following the GLC's agreement to increase the scope of its ban appeals committee, the Freight Transport Association has put forward a former president, British Steel's inland transport manager, Ian Dallison, as its nominee.
