Penkridge HGV Ban – ANPR camera installation
As part of the implementation of the Penkridge HGV Ban, which aims to prevent HGVs associated with the development from travelling through Penkridge village, two Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras will be installed along the A449 Stafford Road. One camera will be located to the north of Penkridge and the other to the south.
The cameras will monitor HGV movements through the village to identify vehicles that breach the ban. The ANPR system will provide evidence to support enforcement action against operators, while allowing for legitimate business journeys within Penkridge.
The Penkridge HGV Ban forms a key part of the WMI transport strategy and is intended to monitor whether HGVs associated with WMI are passing through the village. The system will not record details of the wider travelling public and will only be used to monitor HGV movements.
When will the installation take place?
The camera installation works are scheduled to take place between Monday 9 November and Wednesday 18 November.
To safely facilitate the installation, two-way temporary traffic lights will be in operation on the A449 Stafford Road. Our working times will be from Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm.
When will the cameras become operational?
The cameras will be operational in early 2027 when the Carlsberg Britvic warehouse becomes operational.
