Damage to road by haulage lorries
Reported via desktop in the Road Defect category by Robert Dearing at 15:11, Thursday 29 May 2025
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7633827.
Our road which is unmade but classed as a public highway by Bromley Council is inundated with haulage lorrries most days, used as part of site clearance to a new development at The Hearn, Southill Road. The lorries are driving fast, causing damage to the unmade road and cre4ating dust on the residents property. The haulage companies can use Sylvester Avenue, Sundridge Avenue and Waldram Road that are metalled roads, The drivers say they can't use the railway bridge due to a 7.5 ton weight restriction, so Southill Road is taking the brunt of the damage. The road is often blocked with numerous lorries. Surely there should be a weight restriction on Southill Road as this is unmade and not designed for such heavy use. Can the council advise these companies of the damage they are doing and why can't some form of weight or width restriction restriction be applied to Southill Road
