The local sawmill loads its wagon daily on the public road outside the sawmill. This blocks the road and poses a safety risk to other road users as it occurs on a bend in the road and they do not use a banksman. Verge markers are being damaged and verge eroded. This could be avoided by loading the wagon facing into the sawmill entrance on one side and then turning it around to load the other side. They used to do this.
