The Vale of Evesham Control Zone has clearly failed in its primary objective of managing the increase in HGV movements arising from development in the area. Instead of alleviating congestion and minimising the impact on local communities, it has merely shifted HGV traffic onto existing roadways, particularly along the A46 Trunk Road.

This policy, which ignores the potential of rail freight, is fundamentally unsustainable. Unless this policy is revised to incorporate rail freight options, it should be promptly removed from the SWLP. It's important to note that while other local authorities are moving towards this deletion, Warwickshire County Council seems to be an outlier in maintaining this ineffective policy.
