Sky News has published an explainer article which neatly summarises the causes and solutions being pursued.

Causes
  • Covid pandemic
  • Brexit
  • Retiring drivers
  • Costs of training and pay
  • Tax changes
  • Working conditions

What is being done to fix the problem?
  • Temporary visas
  • HGV driving tests relaxed
