A small village in Somerset is facing increasing challenges as heavy lorry traffic continues to pound its roads, leaving a local bridge severely damaged and residents deeply concerned. The once peaceful community is now struggling with the consequences of constant heavy vehicle passage, which has turned the village bridge into what some describe as “mincemeat.”
Local residents are growing increasingly worried about the structural integrity of their homes and the safety of the village’s infrastructure. The persistent vibrations and weight from the lorries have led to visible damage on the bridge, prompting fears of potential collapse if the issue isn’t addressed promptly.
Many villagers have voiced their frustrations, emphasizing the impact of this traffic on their quality of life and the possible long-term consequences for their properties. Calls for urgent action to regulate lorry routes and protect the village’s historic features are mounting, as the community comes together to seek support and solutions.
