Freight strategy
The map is part of the freight strategy element of our Transport Plan.
The key aspects of our approach to freight management are to:
- maintain and promote a lorry route network for main lorry movements
- provide real-time traffic information to support efficient freight movement
- support major improvement on key lorry routes such as the A27 to reduce rat running, when funding is available to deliver them
- deliver and protect small-scale freight infrastructure to assist hauliers and businesses and support freight movement by sustainable modes, where practical
- identify and assess lorry routes for construction traffic and sites that require high levels of HGV movements.
