Banish HGVs

Filippo Corsini was crushed to death by a truck opposite One Hyde Park on Monday 31st October 2016

Matthew Steeples suggests HGV trucks should not be allowed on London’s roads during the hours of daylight

 

Trucks are undoubtedly necessary to transport goods in London but with eight cyclists killed already this year on the city’s roads, it is time Sadiq Khan took action to reduce accidents such as that occurred in Knightsbridge on Monday.

 

It’s quite simple: Trucks should be allowed on the roads during limited hours in Central London. Deliveries by HGVs could be confined to a specific period of say 1am to 6am and then the city would be a much safer place during the hours of daylight.
