Lobbying for rest areas

ATA NSW will lobby for the construction of a new truck rest area near the intersection of the M4 and the M7 on Sydney’s outskirts. ATA NSW Manager, Jill Lewis said there are currently no truck rest areas in the Blacktown City region, even though the Blacktown Local Government Area is home to the biggest distribution centre in NSW.

~ Government inaction could be a disaster

ATA NSW has today called for the NSW Government to act quickly and deliver adequate rest areas for truck drivers. ATA NSW Manager, Jill Lewis, said that the fact that NSW RTA is not treating the serious lack of rest areas as urgent could prove to be a life and death situation for some drivers.
