Provide food and drink and facilities to lorry drivers during covid shut down.
All the cafes, food outlets, services are closing, thus means the lorry drivers cant stop to get hot meals, hit drinks or even shower if they are sleeping in lorry. They are front line staff, the government need to provide places for lorry drivers where they can access these facilities
Ensuring supplies are getting to the shops is essential for all our wellbeing. Making sure the drivers who are out sleeping in lorries and working to support the country have access to hot meals, drinks and bathrooms means they can continue their vital work
