J24 M5. Bridgwater truckstop.What's up?

As in the Monty Python comedy sketch “This parrot is dead”
and so is the new truckstop.
It used to be free to park.Now it is £18 with a fiver food voucher.New shower block built.
24 hour security BUT it is EMPTY.
The nice pub was full of drivers unwinding and having a chat.The pub is empty too.
Next door a new Brewers Fayre is being built by Christmas.
What a great shame.A nail in the coffin.
The parking is too expensive and not that secure for the price.
