sgictions on vehicles in the area have sealed off a large 'ork of roads for large vehicles by closing off short lengths of egic roads.
joipt statement from the associations says that the council .orisistently refused to hold a public inquiry into the ban and veal to Transport Minister William Rodgers for an inquiry met with a blank refusal.
he refusal of these requests has left the trade and industry no option but to apply to the High Court for the withdrawal eorders," say the associations.
