Great to see this support from @LilianGreenwood and @AllisonCGardner for #NationalLorryWeek and the road haulage industry. £43m invested across two different governments shows that this issue is too important to be party political! We owe it to the lorry drivers we all rely on.

Fantastic to visit ADS Truckstop in Stoke with local MP @AllisonCGardner for #NationalLorryWeek 🚛 We’re investing £43m with industry to improve truckstops to: - Boost security, welfare & working conditions for lorry drivers - Support local jobs - Help us get back to growth

Was great to meet you too @matthew_barber, and glad to hear of your commitment to prioritising the reduction of freight crime in Thames Valley. Look forward to working together to raise awareness, increase safety and stop this organised criminal activity.

🚛 🚚 Freight crime costs our country around £250m every year. With the largest motorway network of any police force in the country we see a significant share of the 5,373 reports of HGV and cargo crime. This morning I met with the Road Haulage Association @RHANews to discuss…

The road haulage industry are the deliverers of economic growth, and it's great to have a minister that understands what we can achieve working together.

Thank you for inviting me and for the opportunity to discuss a sector that is so vital to delivering on the Government’s missions.



Thank you for your support for our sector @RachelTaylorMP - we look forward to working with you on the @roadfreightappg

In my maiden speech this week, I spoke of how proud I am to be representing North Warwickshire and Bedworth, the place where I grew up and where I have spent most of my life.

Freight crime on the rise… we told @TheTimes that we need 11k more safe and secure lorry parking spaces to deter organised crime gangs and give truckers more piece of mind when they’re parked up overnight. We’re also calling for a freight crime offence to be created with…

Great meeting with @aisha_cuthbert at @nicholls_tpt in Sittingbourne - an important chance to discuss the needs of the vital road haulage industry, and inspiring to hear what Nicholls have done on the road to net zero. Businesses like them need support from the next government.

WATCH 🎥 Hauliers are facing significant cost pressures - a record number went into administration last year. The next Government must reduce rising costs and regulation faced by the businesses who are critical to our supply chain. Watch @BBCNews clip below.


Enjoying #move2024, speaking here about ULEZ and the road freight industry (although the use of headphones by all attendees did make it feel more like an ASMR recording session). Joining a panel on road pricing next…

My latest editorial on roadside facilities for HGV parking

Commercial vehicle drivers are vital to our #economy, yet they still face a poor standard of facilities. Our Public Affairs Manager @RHAAshton calls on parties to make secure parking & better driver facilities a priority in the next parliament. READ MORE 👇…

Always grateful for the opportunity to make sure more people hear about the impact of freight crime on drivers, businesses and the economy.

Excellent news for our members, helping them to keep costs down. Thanks to the many MPs who wrote to the chancellor on behalf of HGV, van and coach operators inc. @SelaineSaxby @tuckwell_steve @aliciakearns @AndrewSelous @gregsmith_uk @sheryllmurray & more!

We are delighted that following RHA campaigning, the Chancellor has frozen fuel duty and extended the 5p cut making important savings for coach, HGV and van operators! 🚚 #Budget2024

#Budget2024 Full expensing on leased assets is a great win for @RHANews - a vital lifeline for hauliers hit by rising interest rates.


#Budget2024 Continuing the fuel duty freeze is the very least our haulage industry needs. Another RHA campaign priority achieved.✅


I'm proud to be a Vice-Chair of the industry Task and Finish Group launched this month, leading the workstream for improving truckstop capacity, and looking forward to working with industry and government partners to help address this important issue.

We would like to thank all members who have supported the campaign, and we look forward to updating you as it progresses. Read more on the key aspects of our facilities campaign on our website here: rha.uk.net/Campaigns/Driv… #RHAFacilities

I prepared a proof of evidence for a Planning Enquiry based on DFT Circular 02/2013. The next day I had to completely redraft it because the new circular had been released. At least it was helpful to the case...

In April 2023 our Managing Director @RHARichardSmith met with @Mark_J_Harper to underline the critical state commercial vehicle facilities are in nationwide.
