Villagers are at their wits end over lorries ending up in ditches after following dodgy sat nav directions.

A Turkish lorry, carrying Primark clothing, was the latest to slide into a ditch, leaving Cressing’s Bulford Mill Lane blocked last Wednesday lunchtime.

 

Resident Anthony Brialey, 68, said: “This is happening all the time and there’s this great mess.
“There are signs, but these guys follow their sat navs.”

Frustrated Teresa Kendal has suggested starting another residents’ group in a bid to resolve the problem.

Mrs Kendal said: “They get stuck, can’t get out and reverse.
“They knock loads of branches down and reverse into all the ditches."
