Nightmare

Operation brock pushes traffic onto the A20 and the surrounding roads which are already over used. Living in a single track lane we regularly have foreign lorries blindly following satnav and getting stuck. The chaos that ensues is horrendous and we feel like prisoners in our own homes.

On another note as someone who needs regular hospital trips to the WHH in Ashford, I am unable to join the motorway at junction 8 which is 5 minutes from my home and have to either drive back up to junction 7 or fight through the traffic on the A20 meaning that a journey which should take 30 minutes takes at least 50.
