As previously reported, Network Rail have agreed to instruct their drivers and contractors to take special care when driving through Charlton Village. They have agreed that all Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) should access the site via Ryden Lane and Whitehouse Farm, and that only light vehicles should be using Sidings Lane. All drivers should obey a voluntary 20MPH speed limit when driving on Village roads, and 5MPH when driving on site.
If anyone has any complaints regarding the conduct of vehicle drivers, please email:
Emails should be headed “Fladbury Project” in order to ensure that they reach the correct person in Network Rail, and should include full details of the incident you are complaining about, including location, date and time of the incident, and if possible, the registration number of the offending vehicle, and copy Roger Davies, Chair of Charlton Parish Council and Richard Sims, vice-chair.
Any concerns about driving issues on public roads should also be reported to the local Police by dialling 101. In this case, you will definitely need to include registration details of the vehicle involved and the date & time of the incident. Obviously video footage from a dashcam etc. would be very useful.
