Gallery: Tesco Mill Road delivery issues
Photos from Sedgwick Street and associated lorry parking examples from around the Cambridge area, demonstrating the problems cyclists and walkers face in this area due to vehicle movements.
The CEN reported on 14th December 2007 as follows:
"... a 20mph speed limit could be installed in Mill Road after 86 injury accidents on either side of the bridge in the last three years. The accident rate puts Mill Road at number three in the rankings of 195 accident blackspots in Cambridgeshire. Sixty per cent of the accidents involved cyclists."

Vehicles stopping on Mill Road cause safety problems. Tesco propose to worsen the existing situation for twice a day with a lorry unloading for 41 minutes each and adding a cash machine (which will generate vehicles stopping).
Blockage on Mill Road caused by unloading. Tesco propose to do the same thing at least twice a day for 41 minutes each.

Deliveries on Mill Road cause a blockage. However, there is probably little alternative given the layout of the streets. It is essential that any new planning permissions allocate off-street delivery areas.
