Possible solution to HGV problems in Silverless Street

Residents and drivers will want to be aware of new arrangements being put in place to test out a solution to ongoing problems with HGVs attempting to use Silverless Street. This has often resulted in damage to buildings, particularly at the Kingsbury Street end.
