What the petition asks

The government need to call on all service areas to rescind charges for HGV drivers, charges to park for a 24hr period range from £28 - £40 coupled with a charge in some areas for anything over 35 mins of £1 per hour considering a driver's break is a statutory 45 mins companies are profiteering
