Living nightmare

I live on the A20 in Bearsted and when brock is in place it makes life here in Maidstone awful. The amount of traffic that Speeds down this road increases, both day and during the night. Trying to go anywhere locally normally means sitting in traffic jams. Visiting family in Ashford is impossible as again your in a traffic jam. Brock certainly impacts a lot of roads in Maidstone when it is in place, congestion is just dreadful. Even though I don’t use the buses this must impact on the 10x that travels from Ashford. Lots of HGV‘s try to take alternative routes rather than use the M20, again they are parking up all over Kent. This makes life in Maidstone and Kent very unpleasant and you start to want to move away. I use to commute to Folkestone every day but thank goodness I took early retirement as that would have been as bad if not worse than when Brock was in previously. They need to find an alternative solution to park up lorries but it needs to be in Kent as up country will not work as they are heading to the channel crossing. Manston seems to be a possible solution.
