You are NOT WELCOME

Thought this might be of interest to some.

I have been looking into buying a new house and one of the areas me and my partner had a look at was Buckshaw Village in Chorley. Which has attached a large commercial zone with various logistics operations from Royal Mail to the small SME. But it would seem you are not welcome to park there if you are out of hours

Why have all pics been reported to vosa ? It’s another case of build a business park , good idea for jobs etc , gets the go ahead but no thought is put into truck parking , its about time this addition was compulsory to any planning application at the time , that way there will be an available overspill parking area for waiting trucks

The man is nothing but a knob.

My reply: under a fake name, which is awaiting moderation, without a doubt it’s unlikely to be approved :smiling_imp:


Firstly I am utterly dismayed at the reaction yourself has taken, not only is this completely irrelevant, as firstly lorry drivers by law are required to stop for breaks at either 6 hours (for working time) or 4.5 hours driving, so what I believe you and your fellow representatives of the council are actually doing, is encouraging drivers to continue driving tired, however im sure once a member of your constituency is killed or seriously injured, your approach on this matter may change.

In relation to this, it is the council’s job to provide appropriate parking facilities, which you obviously you have not facilitated, since lorry drivers are being forced to park at this current spot.

In regards to dangerous, this is vastly disproportionate claims, and a good driver should be able to plan ahead on the road and take appropriate actions to overcome the obstable here.

In addition the road looks like plenty of room for any vehicles to pass.

I believe you may reconsider this campaign, as im sure once businesses are forced to migrate due to council stance on its trading rights, your constituents will be very displeased with a decrease in job figures in your region, in addition to any costs which your local shops etc receive due to the lorry driver’s on premise.

Lastly, it is unfair for reports to VOSA to be made, especially when a politician makes a mistake it is very easily overcome and played down as minor, however when a lorry driver as such makes one, you attempt to sabotage people’s livelihood’s.

I believe that you should act in the best interest of your region, not simply a minority which do not understand the working constraints under the career as a HGV Lorry driver. It would be advised working with people is more advisable than demanding, True leaders lead from the front, not dictate.

Morning. A reasonable nights sleep all things considered. Off to watch Postman Pat Special Delivery Service :slight_smile:

Is this guy really that sad lol ?

Aidy Riggott @4Buckshaw

Just heard that this Lorry was still ‘parked’ on 40mph Buckshaw Ave (blocking a whole lane) 1hr later at 0745!!

I guess he means 45 minutes, exaggeration or what lol.

What a sad sod.he wants to get a live.where are we ment to park.
Its getting worse by the day.the services are all crap.they build all these places
And dont give a toss about us.we are just social outcasts that nobody wants

this is from the same fella, what a bored little man 4buckshaw.wordpress.com/2013/08/ … w-village/

You ask “Where are we meant to park” this suggests that you think there is an element of public empathy or consideration, well there aint mate! end of… nobody cares where you are meant to park :bulb: , because after you have served your purpose and delivered the stuff that they need you are “meant” to sod off with your “juggernaut” :unamused:, and just disappear, until they need you next time to serve your purpose again.
The politicians/councillors will support this idea EVERY time because the pompous knobs that make these complaints, and start these campaigns, are lost voters if they are given the point of view of the drivers, and if the councillors advocate for proper parking facilities.
Truck parks are seen by our beloved public in the same category as gipsy camp sites, and are about as popular, but after saying that some truck parks look like gipsy camp sites after being left by some star “drivers”, (and not just the Easties before anybody jumps on it) So maybe they do have a point after all.

That pretty much sums up the situation about truck parking in the UK.

Yours is up on the site, and this is mine…

I understand the concerns of the village if the lorries in question if they were indeed parking in the village. I would also understand if the said drivers of these lorries were urinating and dumping rubbish in said village. They are not.

So then, when the estate was commissioned, did anyone think of lorry parking? No? Oh well, maybe you should plan something into the infrastructure rather than trying to persecute unfortunate lorry drivers, by sending pictures to VOSA, who are trying to do the right thing in a very heavily regulated industry in an area with no dedicated parking.

Poor planning, poor reaction and poor execution in trying to rectify someone’s else’s mistakes by persecuting a group that didn’t, and don’t, have a say in the matter. Outstanding work Aidy Riggott, Euxton Parish Councilor, your right up there with the original concept planners.

all arguments aside , the picture of andy riggot is of a face that is crying out for a good slapping .

My contribution …

Yet another case of bad planning , I’m sure the villagers & locals like having the job opportunity that this business park brings to the area , but no thought or provision has been put in place for the lorry driver who has no choice but to come to this area, they would far rather be parked in a safe secure area , this is something that should of been thought of in the early planning stage , it is not The fault of the drivers involved , they have to stop somewhere ! Maybe if you want to help everybody & do the right thing ,then a campaign for better parking facilities for drivers would be a good idea & in the future this addition to a proposed site can be added as a necessity . There is to much of a blame culture towards drivers , they are heavily restricted as to what there can & can’t do already , its time an attitude change was adopted, after all everything is moved by a lorry at some stage of its life …

You are fighting a losing battle.

is this said area there moaning about?

Tells me they have to much time on there hands, or he has nothing else to moan about.

i can’t help thinking the french lorry drivers have got it right,have a lorry strike once and a while then planks like this may see just how much they are needed when there’s no bread milk bacon,half empty shops.maybe when they’ve gone without for a few days they may not take wagon drivers for granted.

Yes I was looking at the map and Buckshaw aveneue is in the middle of an industrial estate where I would have thought was the best location for lorries to park.

Sad that these residents see us in the same light as a Gypsy encampment :cry: :cry: :imp: :cry:

Edit Yeah Big Boots pity we don’t do the same here. We would have decent pay, facilities the lot if we were like the French but unfortunately we ain’t :neutral_face: :unamused:

This seems to be the blokes own website and I doubt most people there don’t actually care that much one way or the other. Especially judging by the lack of comments.

i think Aidy Riggott dreamed about buying a house in the middle of nowhere with green fields and countryside for miles,then came the industrial development and he’s ■■■■■■ off.if you want to move to the countrside get out of manchester ya lemon :unamused:

what a sad little man this person must be,the lorries as far as i can see are parked on commercial premises and not the village,as regards reporting these vehicles to VOSA what can they do if the drivers are on their legal breaks and rest,i really wish that we truckers could do something once and for all to shut these people up,ref the authorities [vosa,councils,and other authority bodies]

Us British drivers are all talk. We will never do a strike, and things will not change!
