"I have been informed that it's not a police matter and has been de-criminalized it's a matter for Ealing Council and they are aware." Who told you this? Who at the council have you reported the problem to? So the information given to Nikki Howard by John Freeman at Ealing Council's enviro team a few weeks ago - and posted on this forum - was wrong? Has John Freeman been informed of this? Nikki's original post read as follows: "From John Freeman at Ealing Council. Further to my previous e-mail about overweight vehicles using Horn Lane bridge I have now been advised by the Council’s Highways department that residents should report any suspected overweight vehicles directly to the Metropolitan Police. Contravening a weight restriction of this kind is still a criminal offence and is not one of the traffic contraventions such as stopping in a yellow box junction that is enforced by local authorities. The police number to use is 101. Further information on using this number can be found at http://content.met.police.uk/Site/101. I am sorry for the delay in obtaining the correct information, however I hope that residents will now be able to provide details of vehicles to the police." Kind regards.
