I got told it was because drivers decide to park in them all weekend and often days on end with no facility’s and then drive off leaving a mess behind.Wouldn’t happen if we had proper parking facilities for trucks that our foreign visitors thought were worth using.
As far as I am concerned, if local authorities won’t invest in proper lorry parks then they have to deal with the inevitable consequences of truck drivers camping out in their laybys.
They should ban all HGV lay by parking then something would HAVE to be done to bring up overnight parking in line with basic human rights. Lay bys are unsuitable and in a lot of cases dangerous, I have said before on here that I question the mentality of drivers parked up in lay bys so shallow that they have to pull their mirrors in 
. As long as drivers are willing to park both expecting and accepting the fact that there are no basic facilities, then the situation will never change.
