The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve truck stop facilities for HGV drivers.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Department and industry are jointly investing up to £43.5 million to upgrade truckstops across England. This is on top of up to £26 million joint investment by National Highways and industry in lorry parking facilities along the strategic roads network.

This investment is supporting operators across 30 counties in England to improve security, toilets, showers and refreshment facilities and increase lorry parking spaces.
