Adur Council has given permission for the HGV haulage business to be relocated to the Portslade end of Shoreham Harbour (The Argus, July 22).

With the already approved peat processing plant meaning 100 extra HGV journeys each day to and from the area, now roads will have to cope with lorries from the HGV business.

Are the residents of Trafalgar Road and Church Road in Portslade aware the route of these lorries from the A27 to the harbour will be right past their homes?

I know from viewing council pollution graphs the level of vehicle pollution from HGVs on these roads already exceeds government safety levels throughout much of the day.

Surely our councillors should be doing more to protect their constituents?

I urge residents to contact their councillors to let them know their feelings before their roads are jammed with thundering HGVs.
