    Brief

    The UK government is investing £20 million to improve facilities for HGV drivers across England's strategic road network. This funding, announced by the Department for Transport on 13 April 2022, supports the road freight sector, which accounts for approximately 80% of all freight transport and contributes £12 billion annually to the UK economy. The initiative focuses on enhancing driver welfare provision, improving on-site security, increasing parking capacity, and providing better amenities at designated lorry parking facilities. Funding is delivered through the Designated Funds programme to strengthen the freight and road haulage sector's growth and resilience. Suppliers should understand that opportunities may involve delivering support services, monitoring progress, and evaluating the effectiveness of parking and welfare improvements at HGV facilities.
