Biggest Problem in Petworth - Lorries and their SatNav

There isn't really any reason for big lorries to come through Petworth. It is just as quick to avoid the town whether the destination is Chichester or further west. The trouble is that the Satnav that the lorries use doesn't seem to take account of the narrow streets in Petworth. As a result there are regular instances of lorries getting stuck or even demolishing ancient buildings. This Tesco lorry got stuck in between Artful Teasing and the Cannon Gallery (Now Giovanna Ticciati). I don't know what the answer is, but I hope someone comes up with a solution soon, or Petworth will become a tourist attraction for people who like seeing lorry crashes.
