The owner of Suffolk’s Orwell Crossing Lorry Park said the site may have to close down after demand for secure LGV & HGV spaces plunged and the bank refused borrowing.
Karl Rout has stated the lorry park made a loss of about £1,000,000 since it opened 10 years ago and the family had now run out of money.
Capacity has never been more than 60% and he admitted that currently it had 53 lorries parked up overnight out of a total of 174 spaces.
Rout said he did not want to point the blame at anyone, but the situation was not helped by a failure by the police to enforce illegal parking in laybys and hauliers refusing to pay for safe spaces.
