TRO HGV Sutton Bank

The A170 at Sutton Bank is not fit for purpose in regard to loaded HGV trucks ascending this 25% grade with hairpin bend. Blockages to Sutton Bank continue to be an almost daily occurance as a result of HGVs failing to ascend the bank.  This situation then creates a dangerous situation with vehicles then overtaking the blockage against oncoming traffic. This will eventually result in a serious accident. The police who attend many but not all of these incidents, can take several hours to clear.  There have been many occasions when the police are not made aware of the blockage and then we have HGV trucks reversing back down the bank around bends and up to 1 mile against oncoming traffic along the A170 as the HGV drivers seek somewhere to turn around to retrace their steps and seek another route.
