Ban parking charges for trucks on motorway service areas

Closed 1,070 signatures

What the petition asks

The motorway service areas should be free parking for trucks and their drivers to park at the end of there driving hours. This is a legal requirement after 9 hours and we have little choice but to use these areas.  
The motorway service areas charge excessive fees for trucks to park and provide little or no amenities, poor showers toilets facilities and expensive food. There should be free parking or a cap on the charge for proper facilities for all truck drivers.
