a 7.5-tonne CV limit in '(ate: instead it says it is "considering the options".

Residents in '(ate have been campaigning for LGVs to be banned from Station Road in the town because of the danger caused by traffic volumes and pollution levels. Objections came from the police, who felt it would be too difficult to enforce; and from parish councils in surrounding villages, who were

A report on the proposal is presently being considered and a final decision will be made shortly."
