Large Goods Vehicles: Parking
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to Answer of 12 January 2026 to Question 102593 on Logistics: Infrastructure, what estimate she has made of the number of additional lorry parking spaces that will be required to meet projected demand in the next five years.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Department has not made a specific estimate of the number of additional lorry parking spaces that will be required over the next five years. However, the Department will shortly launch a new National Lorry Parking Survey. This will provide a comprehensive picture of current capacity, demand and driver welfare facilities across England. The findings will inform future policy on HGV parking and welfare and will support planning applications for new or expanded sites.
