After escalating the problem to Budgens holding company Musgrave Retail, Budgens have now instructed their drivers that before delivering to the store, they must phone ahead to arrange a banksman for all deliveries, to protect the neighbours property, and to avoid risks to pedestrians whilst the lorry is reversing. This appears to be exactly what we have been campaigning for on this issue - lets hope it is put into practice...

Do the managers at the store know about this or is it just the lorry drivers who have been informed?
When I lived near Budgens, the chap next door whose fence had borne the brunt of the problems over many years used to go out himself and help the lorries back down. I assume the current fuss stems from his departure and the property changing hands. Of course, a change in commercial practice and the absence of these mobile warehouses from our streets would be the real progress, rather than (like Tesco et al) trying to force them into spaces that were never designed for vehicles that large.
