THE NEW Ashford International Truckstop opened in Ashford, Kent in December 2021, has a range of modern facilities for the drivers of up to 660 trucks per day, making it the largest in the UK and Europe.
The state-of-the-art lorry park is located at Waterbrook Park, near (J10/10A) M20, so will be the first or last stop for many drivers as they enter or leave the UK.
The new facilities include: Fully-fitted out kitchen and restaurant serving freshly cooked meals 24/7, laundry, toilet and shower facilities (male and female), shop and six bedrooms, even a state-of-the-art gym, plus electric hook ups for refrigerated lorries.
Darren Smith, general manager at Ashford International Truckstop commented: “In order to maintain and attract new drivers into the sector, it is important that they can access affordable, safe, secure facilities. By providing better facilities for drivers, we can help them to be better rested on long journeys.”
Darren Smith concluded: “Drivers can check availability and book spaces via our app mytruckparking.com.”
