Fines for Goods Vehicle Overloading. A NUMBER of drivers passing through Bracknell and surrounding areas have faced court fines for illegally driving vehicles too heavy for the roads. The patrols checking these vehicle weights were carried out by the Public Protection Partnership (PPP), which is comprised of teams from the Bracknell Forest Council, the Wokingham Borough Council, and the West Berkshire Council. On August 27 2020, Police and a Public Protection Enforcement Officer were engaged in road traffic enforcement activities in Bracknell when at around 8.15am they saw a Ford Transit van travelling on the B3480 London Road. The vehicle seemed to be low on its rear springs and under some strain, so the police officer caused the vehicle to stop.
