Webmaster Report
The Market Drayton Lorry Park has been upgraded. It was a small free park for HGV (now £5 in November 2005) but the area has now been extended to the whole of the Cattle Market and 150 or 200 trucks could be parked here. A Transport Cafe has also been added.
The whole area is fenced and has excellent very high tech: day and night vision cameras high resolution.
If you are running short for driving hours because the M6 is blocked this is a safe location to head for at any hour of the day or night because it can take about 150/200 44ton HGV’s.
On arrival during the hours of the ungodly (as Simon Templer would say) you can pull up outside the electronically controlled gates, read the phone numbers easily on the gate, then give the controller a call requesting entry, stating who you are. When you have done this, he or she will look and see if you are, who you say you are, checking all your visible details, then the gate will open allowing you entry.
You can also get a swipe card or be given one on entry to allow you to depart as you wish. The cameras will record your depositing the swipe card in the supplied facility. You can keep the card if you have a contract facility. Whilst this site does not have an electric topped fence, however it is a secure park, you can see from the photos that climbing over the fence is a no no! Apart from the high resolution, day or darkness vision ability cameras which are controlled by the controller, this is high tech stuff and even during daytime hours anyone attempting to leave with a truck without permission, or just walking into the area will find the gates closing Mysteriously in front or behind them. The police station is close by and the controller can call them up, if he or she is suspicious of any activity, whilst at the same time closing the whole parking area off with a gotcha button! I understand the zoom camera can also check your dental condition and very fine details.
As an extra, delegated password provided persons, can connect with their computer, from anywhere in the world, control the cameras, and look at personal and vehicles if any doppelgangers are suspected.
This new essentially new venue will have its own purpose supplied building in the complex, complete with SKY TV and bar, this is expected during 2006. June 22nd update. The new building is now operational and being fitted, the Bar is operational, gardens outside are being planted, flowers hang in baskets from the outside walls, why not phone Phil and and ask whats on the menu today!
