Hi all. i was wondering if anyone knew of a website that would give you a list of public weigh-bridges in the UK.
I have just spent some time looking but with no joy…
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks folks…

EMR Simms etc

BOCM

Vehicle weights (before and after loading) should be checked using
a weighbridge. Companies that do not have their own in-house
weighbridge can use one belonging to a client or a company nearby,
or a public weighbridge. Use a weighbridge as close to your depot as
possible to check every load your vehicles carry.
To find your nearest public weighbridge, go to the Trading Standards
website, www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, which can be searched to find
your local Trading Standards office. On your local office’s website you
will find a list of weighbridges in your area.
Most public weighbridges are open at least 8am to 4pm on week days
and 8am to 12pm on Saturdays and some are open 24 hours a day.
Individual axle weights can also be checked on most weighbridges,
although in some cases the approach and exit paths on public
weighbridges are not sufficiently flat or level to give accurate results.
This is particularly true of the surface-mounted type of weighbridge,
which has mounting ramps at each end of the loading plate.
For this reason, it is recommended that companies with a fleet of
articulated trucks or a very high volume of traffic should install a fixed
axle weighbridge. These give rapid axle and total weight checks on all
types of commercial vehicle. Companies that run fleets of two-axled
rigid chassis vehicles could consider purchasing one of the several
types of portable axle weighing systems that are now available.
These weighing systems are suitable for smaller fleets composed of
two-axled rigid chassis vehicles. See the ‘Sources of further information’
section on page 6 for suppliers of vehicle weighing equipment.
tried to find it will be a slog 
Thanks for the replies.
Just in case u are wondering why it is because i drive a timber wagon all round the UK and a lot of people i deliver too don’t have a weighbridge but want a weigh ticket because they are paying by the ton.
So i could be anywhere from Inverness to Silverstone.
Thanks again for the response, i will have a look now.

this should lead you to what you want
Commercial Motor magazine used to print a series of booklets regularly listing most, if not all of the public weighbridges across the country with addresses and phone numbers etc. Not sure if they still do this, but may be worth an email if you want a printed booklet in the cab. I used to carry them with me on bulk, came in very handy.
