With many truckstops closing down it's particularly pleasing when one opens — or as here,
reopens. Dylan Gray reports.
A NEW Gossington truckstop opens next Monday on the A38 between Gloucester and Bristol — on the site of the old Gossington truckstop, which closed some years ago.
The site, which has been completely revamped,provides secure parking for 50 LGVs with barriercontrolled access, security fencing, CCTV and regular patrols.
Manager Tony Armstrong says: "The site was originally not bought for that purpose (it was originally just for Milbury Commercials). The main aim with the truckstop is to maintain high standards."
Facilities include a new kitchen, dining room, toilets and showers, as well as a general store and a cash machine. Food will be served from 5.30am to 8.30pm with a bar until 11pm for drivers staying the night.
Armstrong could not confirm the price of overnight parking except to say that it will include a meal voucher. But during the day parking will be free for the first two hours, catering for drivers stopping for compulsory breaks.
