Lorry parks stalemate

A STALEMATE on the building of lorry parks in Aberdeen has developed between the transport industry and Grampian Regional Council.
Aberdeen has become a bottleneck because of North Sea oil, with large-scale street parking of commercial vehicles.
Long-term plans to deal with this include a lorry park north and another south of Aberdeen, both with transhipment facilities, maintenance, sleeping, catering and parking facilities; cost could be very high.
The Freight Transport Association is reluctant to accept high-cost lorry parks as the solution. It wants an effort to organise a larger number of smaller sites, nearer to the present centres of use, and agreement that these selected sites—commercial and industrial streets with few residents could be so used, for lorries.
The region's transport and roads committee does not see why the Region should foot the bill for lorry complexes; it has no intention, it says, of committing itself to spending millions for the haulage industry.
