Provide adequate facilities for lorry drivers which are safe and secure

What the petition asks

After leaving the Army a year ago I have joined one of the largest and most important work forces in the UK. Which would be transport industry. As many have said the facilities are over priced, hygiene hazards, theft hot spots and complaints fall on deaths ears. I had better facilities in Afghanisan
If you travel to the rest of Europe just about every service area is free,clean and safe and of a high standard. Something has to be done, filling in a complaint form online and receiving a free £10 voucher is becoming a joke. Will anything be done though ? All we ask for is somewhere safe and clean to park at night. Banning us from parking in towns and city's is also making problems worse. Just remember where just about everything you own or consume has traveled by.
