Ref. 13885/1DELIVERY drivers who ignore traffic restrictions on one of Trowbridge's main shopping streets face being named and shamed to their bosses.

Daryl Saville-Brown decided to start a one-woman campaign when she clocked lorry and car drivers mounting pavements on Silver Street, just days after the completion of a £200,000 refurbishment project.

Police vowed to clamp-down on drivers flouting parking restrictions following the project completion in July but Mrs Saville-Brown has now decided to start a crime-fighting campaign of her own.

Armed with a digital camera she is snapping number plates of lorries breaking the law and sending evidence to company bosses.

Similarly, number plates of cars are being caught on film and sent to police to follow up.

Newly-laid paving stones have already been damaged as heavy lorries trundle over the pavements during deliveries, infuriating civic leaders who hailed the project's completion as an end to traffic chaos.

Mrs Saville-Brown, who is town development manager for Trowbridge, said drivers were showing a lack of respect for the county town.

"I think it is a great shame drivers are disrespectful when we have recently spent so much money," she said.

"I wanted to make these lorry drivers take notice so I started taking photos and sending them off to their bosses.

"I have been up to speak to some of the offenders as well. Some say it is awkward to make deliveries but that is not the point.

"The yellow lines are down and they are enforceable.

"I can see the situation getting worse because when work starts on improving Market Street there will be temporary bus stops in Silver Street. It will be bedlam and chaos."

Wiltshire Police are responsible for enforcing traffic restrictions and wardens have increased patrols on the streets, handing out fines.

Traffic inspector Cavan Moroney is the leading county advisor on the decriminalisation of parking offences, which will see the local authority take responsibility for fines, but has stated the process will not begin until April 2005 at the earliest.

Swindon will see the decriminalisation process begin in the autumn.

Market Street and Castle Street are the next two locations to benefit from a long-awaited revamp, with money coming from the Local Transport Plan.
