HGV parking in residential streets.

Our drivers are discouraged from parking in services. There is more theft of goods and fuel in services so we tend not to go into them overnight. They park next to you, cut the curtains and pass the goods between wagons and nobody cares, you just get a crime number. We’ve even removed the locking fuel caps as it’s cheaper to loose £500 of fuel then replace a fuel tank when they’ve drilled it.
There are very few secure parking places in the UK.

As for Stevenage, I’ve parked there many times and Biggleswade used to be good until they built the new estate.

We tend not to park in residential areas but in a blue moon you’re just caught out due to road closures and have to unfortunately.

Again, hardly the same as someone taking their lorry home with them and parking it on a residential street 3 or 4 times a week. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone parking an HGV outside your house.

Complain, I wouldn't put up with it in a residential street.

I’m not going to. Like I said, I don’t live on an industrial estate so don’t see why I should.
