Train and Road Chaos as Lorry hits Rail Bridge.
At 13.45 on Monday November 9th an artic lorry driver misjudged height of
the railway bridge over Hyde Lane and collided with it. The vehicle scraped
through under the bridge with serious damage to the trailer as can be seen
from the photographs.
Those who follow the workings of the Parish Council will be aware that we
have been campaigning for many years for better control over the number and
size of vehicles using Hyde Lane. So far we have been unable to get
positive action from Cheltenham Borough Council or GCC.
Lorries that recognise that they cannot pass under the bridge cause further
mayhem when they try to find an escape route; either through the village on
the West side, or by reversing up Hyde Lane as far as the crescent that
provides the first turning area but then only at the expense of the kerb and
grassed area.
