With a surge of HGV traffic rolling through narrow streets and causing problems each day, people in Stradbroke have questioned the effectiveness and lack of consultation relating to a traffic restriction order in Eye. Karen Lynch, who is a member of the parish council in Stradbroke, has called for the experimental Traffic Restriction Order in Eye (TRO) to be stopped so that a full consultation can be carried out. “I’m sure people in Eye will want the order to stay in place, but that’s not feasible, as we all have to deal with HGV traffic. The council’s opening statement reads: “Stradbroke Parish Council has great sympathy for the residents of Eye. The joint submission highlighted the expectation of knock-on effects for other villages within a feasibility study made prior to the 7.5-tonne limit imposed by the traffic order.
