A4169 Weight Restriction Review
As a result of ongoing public concern about HGVs on the A4169 in Much Wenlock, a number of surveys were carried out in April 2009, and a report on the feasibility of an environmental weight limit on the A4169 (Buildwas to Much Wenlock) was produced. This report was considered at the meeting of Much Wenlock Town Council on Thursday 7th October 2010, and Shropshire Council's recommendations were approved. A copy of the report is attached to this page.
