Just two days after a HGV got stuck under the Green Lane rail bridge, the road has continued to experience traffic issues.  Around 3pm today a car veered off the road and crash directly into the fence surrounding the proposal incineration site. We don’t believe there were any fatalities at this time.

These pictures were taken after the police had cordoned off the road and removed the vehicle.  This is one of several accidents to have happened on Green Lane.  This campaign has maintained from the start that there are serious access issues for the site and that the sharp bend on which it is placed is difficult to navigate.

The vehicle involved here was a car, we can only speculate what damage would have been caused by a 40 tonne waste truck failing to navigate the bend.

This is further evidence that traffic calming measures are required along Green Lane and Canal Bank. Adding an additional 160 HGVs to the already risk ridden road would only exacerbate existing traffic problems.  When will Sky Properties begin to see sense? We must wait and see.
