Berkshire primary school has raised safety concerns
GoogleHeavy vehicles could be banned from driving past a primary school after residents raised safety concerns.
Under plans set to be considered by Wokingham Borough Council, vehicles over 7.5 tonnes will be banned from driving down Back Lane.
It is aimed at protecting pedestrians near Lambs Lane Primary School.
Council documents said neighbours had complained about large vehicles, including from Lambs Lane Business Park, driving towards the A33.
A consultation on the proposed changes also suggested residents approve of the plans.
Councillor Paul Fishwick, responsible for highways, is set to make a decision about the new rule on Tuesday.
A report by council officers said: "The aim of this restriction would be to address the concerns raised by the residents and promote safer traffic flow in the area.
"The initial consultation was conducted with local residents and Thames Valley Police, who supported any practical measures that would make it safer for children attending Lambs Lane Primary School."
