BROCK from a retired person's view

Being retired and a resident in Harrietsham, whene Op Brock is in force it is horrendous when junc 8 off M20 has ALL LANES CLOSED...I collect my grand daughter from her school in Paddock Wood on Fridays taking her home on Sundays....to drive to her school fine,35minutes but seeing the other side of motorway completely blocked with traffic at a slow pace all the way back to junc 5 is demoralising as my return journey is obviously going to take hours....and after all traffic on way home finally leaves m20 and proceeds on A20 to sit in traffic hardly moving,bumper to bumper when A20 to Harrietsham is 1mile the journey from A20 to Harrietsham has taken over 1 Hour....just sitting surrounded by huge lorries trying to find a short cut through Harrietsham and Lenham which are quiet villages....to actually go out anywhere when OP Brock is enforced is so dismal because the journey home knowing the backlog of traffic on A20 is daunting and tiring....And any other roads to bypass M20 are also blocked...I have sat in my car coming off at junc 7 to Bearsted and sat in a traffic queue on the roundabout by Vinters Crematorium with no where to go,and police cars stuck too with their sirens going yet no cars can get out of the way....and I have looked at the vans and cars full of very tired workers who have been at work all day and now have to sit in queues for hours....accidents happen because drivers get tired....Operation Brock is not working,and seems to be inforce at any time.
