Aggregate Industries' traffic consultant at the Public Exhibition got quite worked-up with a number of local people (including a councillor), when genuine concerns were raised that the company’s HGVs could cause safety issues on the B3174 and to pedestrians on Birdcage Lane. We thought the purpose of such an event was to explain what’s planned and to listen to people's concerns, not to get shirty with them.
But hey, up to 200 HGVs a day, turning onto and off Ottery’s busiest road - perhaps people's concerns could be misplaced? After all, AI’s HGVs never do anything wrong, do they?

Still no response from @AggregateUK. Here's a photo of their truck crushing someone on a bicycle this morning. pic.twitter.com/OxhgosvJlb— Lambeth Cycling (@LambethCycling) November 12, 2015

@AggregateUK why is your truck using a residential road that has a 7.5 tonne weight restriction? CSR in action eh? pic.twitter.com/y8soYKU2H1— Steve (@SteveJNugent) March 26, 2015
And, closer to home, who could forget this?
