Background

I think the government should look to remove the width restrictions or at least to reassess the current width of the restriction in order to match the wider cars that are on the market these days. Ideally the width restriction would be removed completely as I believe it no longer serves a purpose considering the addition of the roundabout and the pedestrian crossing outside the school that have both been added after the width restriction.
