Kingsway Truck Stop
Created by PaulAm I the only one who is getting fed up seeing lorries parked in the blocked off road, next to the roundabout, most evenings when we enter the village?
Call me overly concerned, but I feel that having lorries parked up, potentially full of goods can only attract the criminal element to Kingsway. This is certainly a reputation that the RA is trying to get rid of.
It won’t take too long for the undesirables to spot these vehicles being left on a regular basis. I also don’t think it was the replacement ornament to the roundabout we were looking for to welcome people to the village.
I’m guessing the driver is a local resident, who possibly gets up early to go out delivering. As someone who is not the best at crawling out of bed in the morning I fully appreciate that every extra minute in my nice warm bed counts. However what started as one lorry has this evening turned in to two.
If that then wasn’t enough it seems to have attracted a rather shabby looking van that seems to have been abandoned on the grass, which is being used for a local garage to advertise their wares.
Does anyone know if QUVL can do anything to stop the advertising at the very least, if not politely ask the lorry driver(s) to move on?
This isn’t meant to be a personal attack on the driver(s) of the lorries, as an ex-driver myself I know how difficult it is to find a quiet and safe spot to stop. I’m just not sure that Kingsway is the most appropriate place.

Hi Paul
I did raise this with QUVL a couple of months ago when it was just a Lorry parked, so not sure if they actually did anything about it, but it seemed to dissapear. I will raise it again because, as you say, there seems to be that van advertising stuff now as well which is rather unsightly.
Cheers
