Speeding Refuse Vehicles
I have this week formally complained to WCC and Serco about the speed of a refuse vehicle hurtling round the bend at Standon on Monday morning. The fleet manager from Serco rang me back and assures me the driver will be reprimanded.
I am aware that this is not an isolated incident. If you see a service vehicle being driven dangerously or even inconsiderately, please let me know (as well as the WCC) so that we can log all incidents, and I will follow up directly with the service managers and contractors.
Refuse collections in our area are contracted to Serco and the service is managed by WCC Environment (other waste services are managed by HCC). If you are not able to note the registration number of the vehicle, note the time and location, direction of travel and any memorable markings – most of the fleet now have environmental slogans and images on the side. This will be sufficient to identify the driver.
There are many other waste vehicles which pass through the village and the hamlets en route, such as the rattling skip lorries carrying the various large recycling containers, most heading for the Veolia Waste Transfer site at Poles Lane, Otterbourne. Please let me know of any excessive speeds here too.
We must send a strong message to the service providers and managers that dangerous driving does not go unnoticed or unreported.
