Over-Weight Vehicles & Speeding

The maximum weight limit for vehicles through the village is 17 Tonnes and the maximum speed limit is 30mph.  Over-weight and speeding vehicles are a common problem for the residents of Leeds and neighbouring Langley.

HGV's are now an all to familiar sight travelling through the village, they cause delays to other vehicles, cause obstructions when two meet and get stuck, they cause the homes along the road to shake as they thunder through.

The details can then be recorded and passed onto our village PCSO and the police.  The Police are actually following up your sightings, and a number of fixed penalties have already been issued.
