Misery of Op Brock
I live beside the A20 in Harrietsham & experienced a miserable summer with a lack of sleep, increased pollution and being unable to venture out in my car on numerous occasions due to the volume of traffic and foreign lorries using the A20. As a result, the rds are in a terrible state and have become even noisier due to lorries driving over the bumps etc. When Op Brock is in place, it is not safe for my children to walk to meet friends or to the shop as the majority of motorists have little regard for the speed limit. I have also witnessed several near misses on the M20 where the signage has confused drivers.
It is a ridiculous solution to close a motorway to park lorries and an even more bizarre decision to keep the junction 8 slip rd closed when the traffic is flowing!! Please find a workable solution before summer 2023.
