Looking for a weigh bridge

[Mel68]

Hi i want to down grade my motorhome from 3800kg to 3500kg and i need a weigh bridge to weigh my van. Does anyone know of a working weigh bridge near to Stratford upon Avon.

Thanks for any replies. Hi

It has been closed, so you would need to check, but the trading standards weighbridge on Old Budbrooke Road in Warwick CV35 7DP is excellent, easy access and efficient. The council lists them on https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/weighbridges but the Warwick one has 2 plates, straight in and round the building to exit. Being Trading Standards, if you need to purchase a certificate, it is fully compliant. If you just want a weight, they usually weigh you then let you look at the display.

Useless site.

It simply points you to the local council website.
Many (most?) local councils do not have a list on their website of the local weighbridges.

That said, most local councils do a household dump location.
That dump location will usually have a weighbridge.

Otherwise you need to be looking for local:

Scrap dealers
Quarries
Waste recycling centres.
Aggregate suppliers
Animal feed suppliers
Grain Silos
Ports
Truck MOT locations with a rolling road.

Most of them will have a weigh bridge.
Weather you can use it is a different matter.
It may be a case of simply turning up and bunging the guy a fiver and getting him to put the weight on a scrap of paper.
An official certificate will cost money Typically £15-20.

Many weighbridges are no longer "public" which is a problem.

Best place I've found for info is VWE's web page and then start phoning those on the list, some no longer do public access, but persevere and you should find one, I did, but Lincolnshire.

Useless reply.....
When I input my post code it comes up with numerous local weighbridge operators....
Think you need a new council.

Lincolnshire county council web site is a nightmare to use and long out of date.

Ask your local traffic cops what weigh bridge they use.

Do what I did.
I put in postcodes for two neighbouring Councils.
They don't list weighbridges either

Hence if now do a search on Google Maps around my area I put in all the weigh bridges I could find about 2 years ago.
It makes my area look like it has loads of weighbridges, but is only because I did not put them in all over the UK

Complete disregard for providing services. Councils have responsibility but no accountability.
I gave up trying to be responsible. Public weighbridge is a thing of the past , just like a good old public toilet. Remember them ?

When I were but a lad my local open area/woodland had a staff of 27 people.
Gardners, forresters, maintaining the bowling green, building paths,
Basically running the place like the grounds of a Stately Home (but without the building).

There are still 27 staff today.
However they now run over 50 different sites in the borough
at least 20 parks, football fields, one stately home, several of the cemeteries, two large heaths and still the local open area/woodland.

If it was not for the many dozens of volunteers that tun up every week come rain or shine and cut down trees, repair paths, pick up litter etc. big chunks of the land would now be unusable.
Unfortunately things like the public loos, the two bowling greens, the old Folly, the dressage ring, and hundreds of acres of mown heath have all long gone.

Funny how "services" are cut, but labour is redeployed. Wilding is the new neglect .
Our lot cut budgets (licence to spend), out-source "essential" services and buy crew-cab vehicles to accommodate the extra labour.
We clean-up foreshore rubbish, put beside in or beside bins. Council response is new stickers on bins with threat of fines for unauthorised use.
Beam me up Scotty .

Depends where you are in relation to Stratford but I use Johnson Brothers at Honeybourne. Pleasant service for a donation and lpg is available.

Hi, I work at Oakland International in Beoley (Redditch) and there's a weighbridge for the wagons that arrive here but public can use it for a £10 charge...
