Constant traffic problems caused by brock

The M20 is constantly being closed at J8. This causes traffic congestion in multiple villages which link to the A20. The congestion in all these villages is far worse than it would be on the M20, if it were to remain open. Another solution needs to be found urgently.

Why is the slip road closed heading south to M20 on J8 roundabout? There is absolutely no reason why this should remain closed at all times. Any traffic using the service area then has to go back to J7 to re enter the southbound carriageway. Quite frankly it’s ludicrous.
