Better Kips for Better Trips: A £16 Million Boost
Tumblr media
Key Investments and Innovations Pave the Way for a Revitalized Haulage Sector
In an era where the logistics and haulage industry is often the unsung hero of our economy, ensuring the smooth transit of goods across the nation, the announcement of a £16.5 million investment to upgrade 38 truckstops across England is a beacon of progress and support for our lorry drivers. This joint government and industry initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing the working conditions, security, and welfare facilities for those who keep Britain moving.   A Timely Initiative In the heart of this strategic move is a £6 million contribution from the Department for Transport (DfT), complemented by an additional £10.5 million from the industry itself. This funding is earmarked for substantial improvements, including the installation of new showers and restaurants, enhanced lighting, and more secure fencing around rest areas. Such measures not only promise a safer and more comfortable rest for our drivers but also aim to alleviate local road congestion by introducing approximately 430 new parking spaces for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).   The Broader Vision This initiative is more than just a facelift for truck stops; it's a cornerstone in the government's broader economic strategy. By improving the working conditions for lorry drivers, the project seeks to support job creation in the haulage industry and attract more individuals to a career in logistics. Furthermore, it aligns with environmental goals by installing new chargepoints for electric HGVs and solar panels on driver facilities, pushing the sector towards sustainability.   A Testament to National Commitment Roads Minister Guy Opperman's remarks underscore the government's recognition of lorry drivers as the backbone of a thriving economy. Additionally, the investment serves as a clear signal of the commitment to ensuring these essential workers have access to modern, safe, and spacious facilities. Importantly, it's an acknowledgment that supporting our drivers is synonymous with growing the economy and securing a brighter future for all.   Strategic Distribution of Funds From Ashford International Truck Stop in Kent to Bardon Truck Park in Leicestershire and Immingham Lorry Park in Lincolnshire, the funds will be distributed to cover a wide geographical area. Consequently, this ensures that the benefits of this project will be felt by lorry drivers throughout England, thereby bringing better working conditions and improved roadside facilities nationwide.   Industry and Government in Tandem The HGV parking and driver welfare grant scheme, which facilitates this investment, is a prime example of effective collaboration between the government and the industry. Furthermore, based on insights from the national survey on lorry parking conducted in 2022, the scheme targets the most needed improvements to enhance the nation's roadside infrastructure. In addition, it addresses the mandatory rest and recovery needs of hauliers, thereby ensuring that our roads remain safe for everyone.  
A Bright Future Ahead
Industry leaders like Declan Pang of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) endorse the project, indicating that it will make a tangible difference in the experiences of lorry drivers. Lorry drivers particularly welcome the additional parking capacity, as it addresses a longstanding issue within the sector. This initiative, alongside others like the £8.3 billion funding for road resurfacing and the push towards zero-emission trucks, paints a promising picture for the future of logistics in Britain.   In Conclusion The £16.5 million investment in truckstop upgrades is a laudable step towards recognizing and supporting the vital role of lorry drivers in our economy. It is a commitment to not only the immediate welfare of these workers but also to the long-term sustainability and efficiency of the logistics sector. As we look forward to the tangible improvements these upgrades will bring, it is clear that this initiative is a pivotal move towards a more secure, comfortable, and sustainable future for the backbone of Britain's economy.   Sources: THX News, Department for Transport & Guy Opperman MP.

IX. (Cont.)
I could hear the tumult of their rapture or suffering every night. He did not hear them, neither did his wife, who had a passive distaste with me staying at his'. She was not pleasantly conductive of the fact that I was scooping my share from their daily meals, that I was so enumerated with her sons and daughters, that I was so normalised with their, and her routines and mine, there. Each day she eyed me with a passive distaste to which I had to be squalidly oblivious, so as to keep our intents balanced. Every time I talked to her, I did so with an armoured goodwill and unflinching interest in whatever she was to do or say to keep our conversations going and our milk to be not spilled upon the carpet of support that was lactose intolerant: And so her will was betrothed to mine, like an incrementally decomposing ceaseless but never quite dissolving bond of an old couple that stood through so many trials together but was never on the perfect, or even serviceably languid pitch. "But soon the bonds of this world would have to perish". There was not much traffic in the street. I walked more… Aligning my feet after feet on the trail of many feats. The travellers repulsed me, they did it gently. It was not the gusts of wind. They pushed me gently from the trail of their feats. I was a drunken buzzard, no longer thatched over field of carrion. I was a drunken lorrydriver, he met me under the shade of a tree. He did not meet me in person, he met me from his burden of finding a living. As the heavy momentum of his truck put an irving on my shoulders, some mere bones of mine were dislocated. I felt light, very light. There was a screeching in my head. But there was no pain among the freshly revised configuration of bones and buttering upon the flesh. I turned to look at the bloodstream flowing down from a wound. It gorged then nourished the asphalt— the vanguard of bloods, swaying some freckle feets away from me. I found him, no, not the lorrydriver— the traveller. He arose from a pile of bones and flesh. He found me, no, not me— not me who had lain coldly on the asphalt, dying. He met me, me, who was scurrying away into Amaravati. He arose, there was a thick mist of blood and marrows abound, and said— no, you are not a God, you are a sacrificial foal. Look into me, look into me. Look into me. Look into me…

UPDATE: My brother is now back home, even though he’s in a lot of pain. We’ve reviewed the accident footage and the car which hit him didn’t look to see my brother and was let out by a van on the other side of the road. When you drive, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LOOK BOTH WAYS AND LOOK MORE THAN ONCE. It could save a life. Fortunately my brother was smart enough to slow down and that most likely saved his life #ThinkBike #ThinkBiker #SlowDown #LookBothWays #HighwayCode #HighwayCodeUK #SaveALife #NHS #Biker #Bikers #BikersLife #BikersLifeStyle #Car #Cars #Van #Vans #VanLife #LettingSomeoneOut #Lorry #LorryDriver #Truck https://www.instagram.com/p/CT45REdjXwU/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Eagles have landed! The Polish military has arrived in the UK to help carry out coronavirus testing of stranded lorry drivers and to help in the distribution of food and supplies. 👏👏👏 The operation is codenamed ‘Zumbach’, in honour of the Polish 303 Squadron ace Jan Zumbach who fought in the Battle of Britain. 💪💪 #Dover #lorrydriver #coronavirus #poland https://www.instagram.com/p/CJR4_MHAxCx/?igshid=7aoew30vn380
