IN THE WAKE of the Windsor Cordon judgment, local authorities' cordon plans are being dusted down ready for blanket implementation.
Hertfordshire need have no fears about court action against its pilot scheme on the B158 at Essenden. The Freight Transport Association is withdrawing its planned High Court action against the scheme which places a three-ton weight limit on vehicles, and which was seen as the trial for the planned St Albans scheme_ The Essenden scheme has discretionary permits for gravel lorries requiring access to the area. Ironically it was probably these vehicles which prompted the county to introduce the scheme.
The A591 zonal scheme in Cumbria (CM June 21) is more popular with operators, as a list of who needs and does not need permits has been prepared by the council.
An FTA spokesman told CM: -If we must have permits, this is an acceptable way of doing it. The industry knows where it
stands."
Meanwhile the daddy of them all, the York Cordon, looks stillborn. North Yorkshire County Council has bowed to outside pressure and looks set to drop its plans for a 300 sq mile three-ton limit.
It has still to placate the York populace, which wants something to be done about heavy vehicle traffic in the city, but large scale measures are now seen to be impractical.
