The chair of the South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee is awaiting a review of the Rhodrons Avenue weight restriction.

The chair of the South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee, Councillor Peter Higgins, is awaiting a review of the 3.5-tonne weight restriction on Rhodrons Avenue, which is due in November 2026. This review will assess the impact on surrounding roads, following the committee's decision in November 2025 to approve the restriction despite objections.

The committee, led by the chair, decided to proceed with the scheme by setting aside objections to a Traffic Management Order, as reported in November 2025. The chair is also noted for having previously questioned the use of council reserves to pay off debt.
