The RHA has handed in a petition to 10 Downing Street this week, which has over 20,000 signatories calling for more safe and secure parking for truckers.
Dozens of MPs are also backing the campaign and have signed an open letter, co-ordinated by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Road Freight and Logistics, which calls for improved facilities and argues this should be central to the government’s plans to recruit, train and support commercial vehicle drivers.
The MPs have also signed the RHA’s petition which is calling for the government to do more to tackle the poor standards commercial vehicle drivers experience at service stations and truck stops.
The RHA is also pushing for more safe and secure parking and estimate a shortage of 11,000 spaces across the country.
