Gail and Paul<P>GAIL and Paul<P> Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 We have recently purchased a house in Lauraguel it is on what we thought was a quite side road. Unfortunately the narrow road is not quite and large Lorries are passing through as a short cut. We have been told by the neighbours that the Lorries are prohibited from using the road but ignore it. Is there anything we can do or any one to whom we can complain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opel Fruit<P><BR>Opel Fruit, Dept. 53<P> Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The Mairie in the first place. They have a degree of responsiblity for their commune, its inhabitants and its arterial ways. Leave your grass too long and they will shout, etc.(I think you mean quiet, not quite!)

Nick Trollope Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The Gerndarmes, although I doubt if you will get very far. Failing that, your Mairie. We have a similar situation (in as much that we were "promised" a bypass). One gets used to it eventually ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 " We have been told by the neighbours that the Lorries are prohibited from using the road but ignore it. " What signs ( weight limits or sauf riverans etc ) are there at the entrances to the lane advising of the ban . Suggest talking to the mayor and possibly an offer of a contribution to the cost of the signs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hi Gail and PaulAlthough I'm in Normandy my best friends live in Lauraguel!!! Is this perhaps a temporary thing because there are a lot of roadworks going on there at the moment aren't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail and Paul<P>GAIL and Paul<P> Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 We are not sure if it is temporary or if there are more lorries than normal. There is a lot of road works going on at the moment. I will contact the Marie and perhaps come to some arrangement about the signs. We do have a language problem because he does not speak any english and our french is minimal.I still love the house and the area and it would be perfect without the Lorries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audois Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sorry, but prior to the roadworks that road has always had a lot of heavy traffic on it. It's 'the' road to the autoroute heading up to Toulouse; I've used it for almost 7yrs and it's always been the same! It might be a good case for double glazing to be fitted!
