It was last month that a public meeting in Melksham decided that the Lorry section that's been in King Street Card Park for many years should be closed to all HGVs and PSVs as soon as possible, and the signage for "temporary" closure has now arrived. [article]. Here it is ... and the fully published intent is that it should be made a permanent closure as soon as possible


Somewhat confusingly, the signage from the times that the powers that be were much more accepting of the need for long distance lorry drivers to stop somewhere in the area are still in place


I have two questions to ask the people who decided to close the lorry park:

1. What are you going to go with that big empty space you've left in the town?


2. Where can the heavy vehicles that don't have a base in the town park instead?


All pictures taken yesterday evening.
