Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

New off road parking areas with facilities Along All Trunk Roads and Motorway.
Easy Access to clean toilets and hot showers at the companies for a driver to use and a legal entitlement to provide these.
Ind Area or existing need too provide a set percentage of free overnight parking per acre.
Lorry drivers, simply going to the loo is an ordeal or degrading issue a plastic bag and a bottle in 2020 – an ordeal faced on a daily basis

Meanwhile, private companies – in some cases, companies that drivers are delivering to directly – are refusing access to their toilets And a lack of basic hygiene can be harmful for drivers as well as the general public – let’s not forget that they transport and handle everything we use, every day.
And it's easy to forget just how vital lorry drivers are.
