Harvest start delayed due to bad weather. New start date 19th October.

The sugar beet crop in Boughton, on Wretton Road, is due to be lifted and taken off during the early part of this year’s sugar campaign. While the majority of the crop will be taken off using tracks to Stoke Road there will be some heavy goods vehicle movements on Wretton Road, Mill Hill Road and Gibbet Lane.

We estimate that between 75 and 100 filled beet trucks will exit Wretton Road starting 21st October. There will be no movements at the weekends. Empty trucks will enter the site via the gate from the A134 as part of a “one-way” system.
