THE RHA has handed in a petition to No10 Downing Street calling for more safe and secure parking for truckers and coach drivers. Dozens of MPs have added their voices urging ministers to help improve roadside facilities.
Parliamentarians have signed an open letter co-ordinated by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Road Freight and Logistics, who say improved facilities should be central to the government’s plans to recruit, train and support commercial vehicle drivers.
They’ve joined thousands of signatories pressing the government to do more to tackle the poor standards commercial vehicle drivers experience at service stations and truck stops.
