The traveling organization of freight is something that has been recently debated by members of Buckinghamshire County Council in order to determine what can be done in order to improve the conditions for locals in the community in the vicinity of roads and rail roads in the area who are affected by the various forms of pollution that freight traveling can actually cause. Such aspects as noise pollution are an unfortunate but very real consequence of freight transportation, but there are other factors that need to be considered such as the impact that these logistical vehicles can have on the transport infrastructure of the local area. Such areas the council debated at the meeting was how the Buckinghamshire area is being affected by the large presence of lorries in the area, such as the amount of times traffic and congestion in the area has been exacerbated by these freight transportation methods passing through the county.
Since 2010, the Council have been working hard to try and make sure that locals’ way of life in the Buckinghamshire area is not being put at stake due to the amount of freight traveling that occurs in the southern region. As Paul Irwin of the Transportation department of the Council suggests, a new form of strategy needs to be put into place that can be safely and successfully implemented.
This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the 2010 plan made by the council could not have foreseen the staggering rise in online retail, which has led to an increase dispatching of lorries in the county area. Irwin is adamant that the best deal that takes into account the demands of peace by the locals as well as the demands that the freight enterprises in the country are currently experiencing. It is essential for all parties involved therefore that the Buckinghamshire County Council works diligently in the future to ensure the wellbeing and comfort of its secluded community.
