Bellway solves lorry problem
Congestion caused by heavy vehicles servicing a new Bellway Homes site is said to have made life an early-morning misery for motorists and foot-bound pupils making their way to St Maurice’s High School.
Residents in the up-market Collingwood estate were also claimed to be affected by the streams of heavy lorries and vans.

One local resident, who asked not to be named, said: “It was a nightmare but now things are 100 per cent better, and we can only cross our fingers and hope it stays that way.”
A spokesperson for Bellway said: “The weather was behind the delays, because the ground conditions made everything far more difficult.
“However now work is progressing well on site, and we have also established on-site parking.”
