Club members often highlight issues with Motorway Service Areas to us, sometimes with positive comments, sadly quite often with concerns over things like caravan parking provisions. We’ve raised these concerns at National Towing Working Group* meetings, and in response, there’s now an opportunity to give your views on how you use Service Areas, and what your experience has been:

https://www.snapsurveys.com/wh/s.asp?k=152145866477

The survey is anonymous, and should only take around 5 minutes.

This survey will give us the opportunity to get your views directly into the regular discussions held between Highways England and the Service Area operators. Please note, you can give feedback on your experiences throughout the UK, not just with Service Areas in England, though.

 

* About the National Towing Working Group: The Club works closely with Highways England on a range of issues including road safety, congestion reduction and journey planning. One initiative they facilitate is the National Towing Working Group, bringing together many organisations and representatives from the whole towing sector, not just caravans. The group members work together to pool knowledge, research and expertise to come up with initiatives which will improve the safety and experience of towing road users on the strategic road network.

But then as CT is only part of her job description then it depends what her main post entails and where in the "pecking order"CT comes,and how often she gets answers from other organizations or depts who as is most positions these days have multiple other parts to their jobs

We all know how far down the 'pecking order' CT is .... right down at the very bottom.

I can assure everyone that Rowena does exist, and from time to time Rowena and other members of staff do make comments here on Club Together.

 I am sure Rowena will update us when she has the information. This thread was only started two and a half months ago. I am not sure how long the survey was live for but would guess three or four weeks. Once the data has been collected it will need analysing which could take several weeks depending on the requested urgency. When the information has been gathered and sorted into the various categories it is likely that further information may need to be sought before the originators of the survey are happy to  share the results so ten weeks might be a bit early to expect those results.I am sure the Club will share that information and I am sure Rowena will inform us when we are at that point.

Ref the Gloucs Services thread, which I can't find but was to do with lack of space. With a touch of anorakitis I took these photos around 1pm today, Sunday 23/6. Gloucs S services was packed with visitors. There is a new caravan notice directing vans to the lorry area (avoid it) because a little further on to the left the old area is still available. Whilst we could see many caravanners manoeuvring amongst the lorries this is what we found in the original area!
