I often wonder why livestock markets don’t open car parks up as a truck stop , build a nice shower block and utilise cafes etc to the max .
Any one else panicking

That bastion of Tory intelligence John Redwood MP has the answer to the lorry driver shortage:
"On line companies have attracted lots of extra drivers to do parcel van deliveries. HGV employers need to learn from them how they did it."

No different to an other S106 arrangement on planning permission.
New housing estate, the Council get a nice new school or some new road network or something. Or more like a big financial handout into local Govt coffers....
Needs some Central Govt push I think.

I know there was a very large planning app not long gone in here for a very large truck stop, up to 50 trucks with all facilities but the cynic in me thinks it is a rouse to try and get housing in the particular spot as the nimby locals dont want a truck stop.

We used to have exactly that in nearly every midlands market town. Then... they all became supermarkets and supermarket car parks
