Reported via mobile in the Crash Barriers - Damaged / Missing category anonymously at 09:01, Mon 18 August 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8038512.

Barrier now a danger to pedestrians, Morrisons Hgv 21.45pm last night, it’s about time Morrisons were charged for the previous dozen barriers. I also point the finger of blame towards North Northants Council, 1, for installing a high kerb that isn’t long enough, 2, Westfield Road should be weight restricted to 7.5ton.

    Please be advised weight limits are enforced by the police, who must be physically present on-site to conduct the necessary checks. As this responsibility falls outside the jurisdiction of the council, I recommend reaching out directly to your local policing team for assistance as NNC do not have any plans to implement a restriction at the location currently.
