Safety concerns have been raised about a residential road used by heavy trucks to get to a quarry.

Bierman's Concrete Products, near Harrington Sound in Smith's South, is only accessible via Lolly's Well Road, where a number of families live.

Area MP Cole Simons said residents have also had to repair walls which large vehicles have smashed into, while the nearby Manor House Bridge has taken a hit several times.

Families have also complained about noise, Mr. Simons said, but he said some concerns were alleviated after the firm agreed trucks would only run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

"The access is through a residential, quiet neighbourhood and so you have the issue of the large trucks driving up from six in the morning until six in the evening," the Shadow Environment Minister told The Royal Gazette.

"The fallout is that families are concerned to let their children out to play because they may slip into the road and be hit by one of those trucks.

"Many trucks have hit the walls and neighbours have to repair them at their own cost."

Mr. Simons said Bierman is continuing to liaise with residents on the matter.

"The consensus was between the owners of the quarry and the operators and the residents. They now have access from six to six. That was driving them mad," he said.

"What some of the residents have agreed on is a neighbourhood watch. If a truck driver comes up after the hours of six to six, they would take the details and report it to the Police.

"Going forward, under the Bermuda Plan, residential roads will not be used to access sites like this."
