The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has advised truckers to not just rely on satellite navigation instructions whilst driving on the road, but also pay extra attention to road signs.

West Berkshire’s rapid response team has received a gift – a brand new Volkswagen car from a local courier company – Swift Couriers.
This will now enable paramedic Paul Michell to respond to emergencies across the district.
