More bloody NIMBYS. Mr Cameron wont be getting my vote if this goes ahead.
Watch in awe as they gridlock the place with nose-to-tail white vans, then start bleating on about banning them too. It`s the good old “shop shelves fill themselves” mentality at work again. Morons.
who cares, one less place to deliver to. No skin off the drivers nose is it
He wants to creep around his friends known as the 'Cotswolds Set".
Also Rupert Murdocks daughter lives in Burford.
Well, she has a place there.

He shouldn’t be getting your vote anyway, he is a knob!
Typical tories,best thing to do is totally blacklist places like this.Deliver all goods to a designated w/house on an ind.est.in oxford area and let them go and fetch their own goods,+storage and handling charges.The knobs will never get my vote.
regards dave.
What makes me laugh is these people want to be selective about what hgv’s are allowed.
Like ooh no we need bin wagons they’re allowed and building materials to there houses for the new extension. Like said before take all the stuff to an industrial estate out of town and let them go get it.
But it’ll never happen
sounds about right,instead of trying to find a decent solution to the problem all the council can come up with is cameras[if they could afford them] so they can issue fixed penalties, same as councils up and down the country,load of muppets,instead of discussing the problem all they could think of is a money making scheme
This will affect the drivers who transit burford but really for anyone who lives there they’re going to pay through the nose for goods to be brought in loads up to 4 tonne payloads at a time ,bring it on .

agree with that,as someone else stated put distribution parks outside every town ,village,city,let the people come and get their goods,they will soon be moaning
Lets those business survive without any goods…
Most towns and villages in Europe have ring roads to bypass them, you will see transit signs for trucks to follow.
If Burford object’s to heavies, then build a road then.
No mention of hundreds of tourist coaches trundling the coffin dodgers in and out of the town.
The actor Jeremey Irons objects to lorries on his patch in the Cotswolds and sits on an action committee.
Don’t forget the Cotswolds is the second or third home to the rich and famous.
Jeremy Clarkson in Chipping Norton.
Jilly Cooper, Kate Winslet and Kate Moss have homes in the area.
Google Bradford on Avon Lorry Watch, coffin dodgers with nothing better to in their sad lives.

It’ll likely be a restriction with loading exemption, as in most lorry ban zones, or else only apply to specific roads. It could also be a means of keeping trucks out of Chipping Norton where a lot of his set live (the A361 runs straight there from Burford).

He’s going to make sure he gets the shallow waverers by exempting Foden tippers from the ban.

Jeremy Irons lives in Watlington-that’s the Chilterns not the Cotswolds. Watlington has a weight limit already and is bad for lorries anyway.
Not sure if Kate Winslet still lives near the Wychwoods now but when she did, some builders said she was really nice and I’ve never read any complaints from her in the papers.
Kate Moss lives near Lechlade and that’s on a minor road to nowhere important so she’d probably not moan anyway.
If they want a ban, then ban it all from no fire engines as that is a lorry.
No minibuses, no coaches, no building supply trucks, no bin lorries, no cranes, no sewer tankers or cess pit tankers.
Put them back to the Medieval times that they like while knitting woolly jumpers and making yoghurt.
Europeans love truck’s, they they are essential to the economy, the UK public are basically thick as cow ■■■ ■■■.
Do what the French did, two weeks of no transport,grind the country to a halt, no fuel in their holiday planes, no food in the shop’s.
Maybe that may stop Audi and Bmw drivers offering coffee beans as they hate truckers for some reason.
The problem with Burford is is that it’s a poxy village with just about everything in it covered with preservation orders. The A361 is a main road, regardless of what Tarquin and Cressida may Tweet to Mr Cameron. Couple that to the fact tourists are too lazy or stupid to walk to the Pelican crossing and just wander out expecting right of way, Chinese and Japanese tourists are the worst as they walk backwards into the road trying to photograph yet another stone cottage. You’ve got Swindon one way, Banbury the other and lots of farms in between plus a scattering of stone quarries so the route is bound to attract heavy traffic. The alternative is the Fosseway, which will then choke up Stow on The Wold, delaying the SAGA louts on their coach trips to Stratford.
It isn’t just wealthy folk either, we had a chap who spent all his working life at our quarry and when he retired campaigned (unsucsessfully) to get the working hours cut down as it was noisy in his house. Another ex driver lived opposite a quarries transport garage, when he retired he made such a fuss about lorry movements that the firm bought his property and rehoused him to another village. He also complained about local hauliers using their Jake Brakes when he was in bed…
