• About 10 hauliers face losing their operating centre and dozens more will have to find somewhere else to park when Greenwich Council closes a lorry park this month.
The council says it can no longer afford to subsidise the Boord Street truck park, because it is used by a dwindling number of hauliers.
But the Freight Transport Association is concerned that such a well-known and established parking area--it has been there since the mid 1970s—is under threat.
The council is trying to find a tenant to operate the parking area, which has capacity for 60 trucks and is around 100m from the southern entrance of the Blackwall Tunnel, just off Tunnel Avenue.
