As you are no doubt aware Coach Parking is at a premium in the UK.  Many local authorities are looking into this by re-evaluating their estates and trying to find alternative uses for public and coach parking areas.

It is essential that we ensure the future of these vital resources and UKCOA encourages all it’s members to participate in the consultation which will only take a few moments to complete.

The consultation closes on the 22nd September 2024 please visit:  www.surveymonkey.com/r/TravellerConsultation

 

Highways England continue to conduct resurfacing and repairs to the central section of the bridge across the Severn Estuary, which began in July and is expected to be in place until the end of Autumn.

The work is being completed using a combination of overnight and lane closures, with a temporary contraflow and reduced speed limit on the bridges allowing two lanes to remain open in each direction and offering the M48 Severn bridge as an alternative route.

Signage on both sides of the bridge provides live travel information for the M4 and M48 to help you plan your journey.
