I live a mile or so from the recently opened massive Amazon depot on Follonsby Park Tyne and Wear. Every layby and spare land in the area is filled up with tractor units and artic combinations waiting for their loads. There’s no parking on the road outside of Amazon, so the other businesses on the estate have to put up with the resulting congestion and rubbish generated.
My point is, why can’t Amazon be made to provide a space and toilets for the drivers to have there statutory time off. It’s pretty obvious from the places they are parking that they’re not looking for entertainment and nightlife, so all that’s needed is a pretty basic facility, ( and education for the morons abusing the area to keep it decent). Regards Kev.
Not just Amazon every large warehouse could easily supply even 10 parking spaces in the corner.
Even if they charged a nominal fee.
There make a few quid on the side.
Or better still all these new build estates should be made to provide hgv parking spaces as part of the planning permission.
Instead of having double yellow lines all over .
And no stopping etc
