Does there even need to be a survey? This surely negatively affects any motorist from Maidstone to M20 East?

Why is the south east of Kent expected to carry this burden every month or so? It (obviously) impacts travel but also trade, quality of life, damage to roads-unlikely to be repaired promptly as well as the rubbish strewn in it's wake (unlikely to be collected). Junction 8 and all around Bearsted grinds to a halt when the A20 becomes gridlocked. How come we are so powerless?

This cannot continue to impact Kent citizens with no future plan nor recompense to Highways Agencies and Councils.
