Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 42
HGV drivers need safe and secure places to stop, to rest and to recuperate.
Conclusion
HGV drivers need safe and secure places to stop, to rest and to recuperate. Drivers told us that too often the facilities available to them were unfit for purpose. Rest facilities must be improved if more drivers are to remain in the sector.

HM Government
Acknowledged
The Government is considering what role standards have to play in driving improvements to driver facilities and encouraging providers to properly maintain and improve their business offerings, including on the areas raised by the Committee. We are gathering evidence on the appropriate level for standards and working with industry on proposals for the most appropriate mechanisms that will help drive adoption and adherence by industry. Standards must be improved for all drivers both male and female.
