Guest Roy Hamilton Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Contact your local Council Trading Standards Department they should know. They have to go every now and then to test the accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting discovery.. Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest audrey Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Try ringing a local quarry or rubbish disposal firm. They should be able to advise you. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rowan Lee Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I tried my local trading standards (Lincolnshire) - they gave me two, one of which has been closed for ten years, the other was Boston Docks who said no way were they a public weighbridge and they were sick of people turning up. I rang the Council again but they were of no further help. I finally found one by following a roadsign I happened to see as I was passing, but this doesn't always work as there are still roadsigns up for the closed ten years one and another which has also obviously been closed for some time. It is very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike C Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hello All, For Weighbridge details see website www.chrishodgetrucks.co.uk. Regards, Mike C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colin Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 If anyone is interested there is a weighbridge close to junction 27 of the M62. From the Gildersome J27 Roundabout turn towards Morley and its on the left just past the Ambulance Station. Its run by West Yorkshire Trading Standards, and weighs each axle as you drive over it. Also the best part is its Free, so if you are not too sure that you have done it correctly you can have another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mick wright Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 i have found that quite a few scrap metal dealers will undertake this duty as they need weighbridges for their operations,but you might not always be issued with a printed ticket. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
