Car transporter traffic has been blamed for causing gridlock on a busy road in Swanwick.

The disruption has affected the A27 at Bridge Road in Swanwick, with vehicles delivering to and collecting from Carsa.

Councillor Joanne Burton said: "I want to acknowledge the level of complaints about car transporters delivering and collecting from Carsa at Swanwick on the A27 Bridge Road, bringing the traffic to a virtual standstill and at times gridlocked to Windhover Roundabout and Park Gate."

She has visited the site and raised the matter with Carsa’s new manager, who has agreed to take action to reduce the disruption.

Cllr Burton added: "There is plenty of room to back the transporters in with banksmen and that is what needs to happen.

"As a qualified Articulated HGV driver I know this is achievable.

"I hope to see improvements and far less inconvenience to local residents."

Carsa have been approached for comment.
