Back to What´s New LocallyOperation Stammtisch - Magor Services
“The word Stammtisch is German and means a regular get-together or meeting. In 2000, it was applied to a truckers surgery that was arranged by German traffic police to give truck drivers the opportunity to speak directly to the police on a range of subjects that directly affected them, in confidence.”
The first to take place in Greater Gwent saw traffic police working with Road Safety at Magor Services. A range of drivers were more than happy to spend some of their rest time asking advice or just chatting after hours of solitary “trucking”.
From Eddie Stobart drivers, to Latvian drivers and even a military convoy, this “get together” showed the need for creating communication opportunities.
Future events will take place on the first Wednesday of every month at Magor and Raglan Service Stations.
