HGV drivers are set to benefit from £20 million of funding for better roadside facilities in a bid to tackle the UK driver shortage.
The Government is asking roadside service providers to apply for a slice of the £20 million allocated to improve security, lighting and shower rooms at service stations.
Currently, the sector is understaffed with an estimated shortfall of around 90,000 drivers due to a number of factors including Brexit and a recruitment image problem.
