Is There a Problem with Sat Nav Directions….

asda-lorry.jpg….or is it the drivers at fault? Just lately there seems to be a large number of articulated lorries travelling along New Mill Lane destined for ASDA. We all know that New Mill Lane is beset with problems, no footpath along a good part of it and two dangerous bends to manoeuvre, so this is a far from satisfactory situation. I have spoken to the manager at ASDA Distribution Centre in Wakefield and asked him to direct any drivers to use Old Mill Lane.  The staff at ASDA were most helpful and will do their best to solve this problem. (Oh and they don’t use Sat Nav) I have checked and there are 7.5 ton restrictions on New Mill Lane, so these lorries should not be using it as a ’shortcut’ to ASDA.
