I'm not familiar with the area, but it sounds like there is demand for a truck-stop.
Anybody know more?

Could the words 'Crown Estates' be significant?

There are no “purpose-designed facilities” between Lymm in Cheshire and Holyhead for truckers.

The Mostyn Estates plan would be based on about 20 acres of land south-east of junction 31 from the A55 along the B5122, J D Owen’s application was based on fields north-east of Crossways Road, Pen y Cefn,

http://wikimapia.org/#lat=53.2686523...15&l=0&m=h&v=2

But both applications provoked a wave of opposition and concern, not just from local residents, who have signed a 2,000-name petition, but from organisations including the RSPB, the Council for the Preservation of Rural Wales, and the Countryside Council for Wales.
The Welsh Assembly Government has also questioned the need for a business park at the site and MPs and AMs question whether a creamery would generate more traffic.
