THE ROAD HAULAGE Association (RHA) has called for secure lorry parks in Inverness following the death of a man.
Mechanic Kevin Mykoliw was killed after his small coach crashed into a parked trailer on the Inverness Longman Industrial Estate.
The RHA says lorry park shortages are forcing drivers to park up in dangerous areas or run the risk of breaking rules.
Currently in Inverness, there is only the Lotland Street lorry park, which holds 20 HGVs. As a result, trucks are parking in A9 lay-bys, the Tesco Extra car park and industrial estates.
Councillor Norrie Donald, former chairman of the Inverness area transport committee, has proposed a lorry park is built on the existing salt stores at the Longman Industrial Estate: Les Houlker. Highland Council's technical manager, says this is not a council priority.
According to Houlker, it is only since Mykoliw died on 17 October that the council has been alerted to the severe parking problems.
