The Department for Transport holds information on whether an ‘overloaded or poorly loaded vehicle or trailer’ is recorded as a contributory factor in reported personal injury road accidents. In 2017, there were 33 HGVs (1%) involved in accidents in Great Britain with a contributory factor of ‘overloaded or poorly loaded vehicle or trailer’ recorded by the police attending the scene. The Department does not hold specific data on whether cargo was moving within the vehicle.

The Department for Transport has allocated £12.8 million to the Bikeability cycle training programme for the year 2019/20 and delivered more than 400,000 training places to schoolchildren in 2017/18. The programme has recently secured a sponsorship deal with Halfords which has generated an additional £1 million for training places and free bike safety checks for every child participating in Bikeability.

The Airports National Policy Statement sets an expectation that, in addition to controlling and reducing aircraft noise impacts, an applicant for development consent for a Northwest Runway at Heathrow Airport will be required to commit appropriate resources to mitigate the impacts of aircraft through noise insulation programmes for both private homes and public buildings.

It notes that Heathrow Airport Ltd (HAL) has publicly committed, following third party assessments, to provide full acoustic insulation for residential property within the full single mode easterly and westerly 60dB LAeq (16hr) noise contour of an expanded airport; and to provide a contribution of up to £3,000 for acoustic insulation for residential properties within the full single mode easterly and westerly 57dB LAeq (16hr) or the full 55dB Lden noise contours of an expanded airport, whichever is the bigger. In addition, HAL has committed to deliver a programme of noise insulation and ventilation for schools and community buildings within the 60dB LAeq (16hr) contour.

The geographical areas that the scheme could cover is dependent on flight paths for an expanded Heathrow Airport. Preparations for the airspace change process are complex and will take some years to work through.

In considering the case for expansion the Department commissioned a review of strategies adopted by international airports to mitigate the impact of airports on residents. In considering the scheme proposed by HAL the review found the schemes to be comparable to those on offer in other countries.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has facilities to check the security of loads carried on foreign heavy goods vehicles (HGV) entering this country at all its ports. The agency also has strategically placed check sites around the country for checking the safety of vehicles, including the security of their loads, regardless of whether they are foreign or based in Great Britain. The responsibility for making sure the load a HGV is carrying is secure before driving rests with the driver and operator.

The responsibility for making sure the load a HGV is carrying is secure before driving rests with the driver and operator.

The DVSA’s ‘Guide to maintaining roadworthiness’ is aimed at all haulage operators using British roads, not just those based in Britain. It reflects advice contained in the ‘European Best Practice Guidelines on Cargo Securing for Road Transport’. If the DVSA finds a load on a HGV of a non-UK based haulier to be unsafe, the DVSA (or the police) can take enforcement action. This could result in the issue of a prohibition notice to prevent the vehicle from moving until the load is made safe and/or a fixed penalty fine.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) keeps its health and safety guidance on load securing for heavy goods vehicles (HGV) under continuing review. The DVSA updates its guidance when necessary to reflect changes and developments within the transport industry, to help ensure HGV drivers are fully aware of their responsibilities.

The Government has invested £1.2bn through the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) to support housing and further announcements through this £5.5bn fund are expected later this year. A significant number of HIF bids include transport infrastructure. The Government is also investing in transport supporting new homes through the Transforming Cities Fund, Major Road Network, and projects in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc.

The Government is further promoting integrated housing and transport planning, for example through the revised National Planning Policy Framework.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) checks the security of loads on heavy goods vehicles (HGV) during roadside encounters as part of its enforcement duties, although the responsibility for making sure the load a HGV is carrying is secure before driving rests with the driver and operator.

If the DVSA finds a HGV’s load is unsafe during a roadside encounter, the DVSA (or the police) can take enforcement action. This can result in either penalty points, legal proceedings being issued or a report being sent to the Traffic Commissioner (TC). After consideration of a report from the DVSA, the TC may take regulatory action for failure to comply with the undertaking of an operator’s licence. Disciplinary action can include suspension, curtailment or revocation of an operator licence.

Drivers must conduct a daily walk round of their vehicle before starting a journey. They must also check any load is secure. These requirements are covered within the DVSA’s ‘Guide to maintaining roadworthiness’ which provides useful diagrams to fully explain drivers’ responsibilities and what should be checked during an effective walk round check.
