Large Goods Vehicles: Concrete
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of revising the permitted weight limits on volumetric concrete mixers.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department ran a call for evidence from October to December 2023 seeking views on three potential options on weight limits for volumetric concrete mixers (VCMs). Any potential changes to the current policy position on VCM weight limits will need to consider the implications for road safety, infrastructure, the environment, and maintaining fair competition in the market. The Department is currently reviewing the outcomes and will publish its findings in due course.
