Heavy goods vehicle (HGV) timber transport routes
In 2010 we joined forces with the county's forest industry to form the Cumbria Timber Transport Group (CTTG). The aim of the group is to help safeguard the multi million pound investment made by Cumbrian forestry and timber processing businesses.
The CTTG is a partnership between:
- Cumberland Council
- The Forestry Commission
- representatives from Cumbrian forest industries
CTTG members
Members of the group include:
- Cumberland Council
- BSW Timber
- UPM Tilhill
- S&D Smith Ltd
- Egger
- Sheffield & Co
- Iggesund Paperboard
- Edwin Thompson
- George Bruce Associates
- Forestry Commission
- AW Jenkinson
- John Miller Ltd
- Euroforest
- Confor
Cumbria Timber Transport Group is part of the UK Timber Transport Forum. If you work in the timber industry and have a question about timber transport in Cumberland, you can email timbertransport@cumberland.gov.uk.
