Foreign truck drivers are getting stuck in a dead-end lane because of satellite navigation devices.

Thursday saw a large heavy goods vehicle (HGV) reversing all the way back up Biddisham Lane, Biddisham, when it reached the dead-end at Poplar Farm.

The wrong turning was the second to happen this year with a lorry leaving the nearby Castle Mill Industrial Estate on the A38 before turning into the lane instead of following the A-road to junction 22 of the M5.

The fault is thought to lie in both satellite navigation devices and in how foreign transport firms look up the site's postcode.

Cllr Stuart Babbington, of Badgworth Parish Council, met with Castle Mill estate owner Patrick Cullen to write to two major trucking firms to address the postcode problem.

Mr Cullen has also agreed to contribute towards the cost of a sign warning truck drivers about the lane.

The first incident of a truck getting stuck on the lane happened on January 26, when a 44-ton truck nearly toppled off the road and had to be righted by tractors and lorries.
