A SCHEME of designated lorry routes for Greater London— issued by the GLC as a consultative document earlier this year— was expected to be dropped at the council's transport committee meeting this week. The ruling Labour group rejected the plan at a meeting on Monday and instead decided to press for an advisory system of preventing heavy trucks from entering the central area.
Mrs Enid Wistrich, vice-chairman of the GLC transport committee, told CM this week that the intention was to ask drivers of over-40ft lorries to use the North and South Circular roads for north-south journeys, and the Westway-Euston Road-East India Dock Road for east-west trips. No attempt would be made initially to enforce a ban on vehicles inside the area bounded by those roads.
