Following on from the Transport Minister’s comments at the weekend, the Road Haulage Association is engaging with members to find out how last week’s severe weather affected them as businesses, not only in terms of the cost of delays but also how they mitigated risk.

The Road Haulage Association is dismayed to learn the Government has spent nearly £6m to rent Kent’s Manston Airport as an emergency lorry parking area if Operation Stack is used.
