A decision to relocate the weighbridge in Portsmouth Harbour, inside the bonded part of the harbour, has left local hauliers forced to choose between weighbridges at Southampton, Brighton or Guildford.
Transport Minister Peter Bottomley has already made it clear that his department would have no objection to the weighbridge in the bonded site being generally available, but the problem is that the port authority has insisted that it can only be used by continental hauliers entering the country and British ones heading over the Channel.
