Specialist transport on the South Coast news
14/02/2012

Winter intensifies

Specialist transport on the South Coast is preparing itself to cope with more troubling weather conditions, as forecasts reveal that Britain's icy spell is set to continue.

As a result, all specialist transport to and from the South Coast will need ensure vehicles are fitted with appropriate winter safety devices to ensure their safe operation.

However, those involved in specialist haulage in the UK, whether it is for exhibitions, bands, boats or planes, are expected to rise to the challenge, much as they did during the last period of extreme cold weather.

Theo Da Pencier, CEO of the Freight Transport Association, comments, "Industry feedback suggests that the various agencies and councils with responsibility for keeping our roads network serviceable did a good job during the latest period of severe weather."

"This is not just good news for truck operators but the communities, businesses and residents that constantly rely on them. It is important that the highways authorities keep up this standard of support in the face of further uncertain weather conditions."

In the meantime specialist transport on the South Coast is braced for the latest Met Office weather warnings.
