A lorra lorries

RESIDENTS of Ewelme claim lorries are thundering through the village, causing them sleepless nights. They say the volume is greater than the seven lorries that are allowed in and out between 7am and 7pm under planning rules. Brian Thompson, of Green Lane, said: “On Saturday, we had in excess of 85 lorries thunder past our house between 1.15am and 5pm.”

Peter Lemaire, chairman of Ewleme Parish Council, accused operator Hazell & Jefferies of flouting the terms of its certificate of lawfulness development for years.
