Noise , Traffic & Total Inconvenience

Cars avoiding the M20, Lorries doing the same or local lorries forced off the motorway. The extra traffic causes so much noise, as well as pollution and the thunder of lorries shakes the house (new cracks have appeared).

On top of that, it affects my commute across Maidstone. I don't go on the M20 but invariably Brock pushes traffic onto all the other roads around town, making traffic a nightmare at times.

And then, when you'd like to pop to the coast in the summer, you have to think twice. Folkestone (a favourite) was once a quick jaunt , now an arduous drive at best. M2 traffic can make that route to Whitstable, Herne Bay, Margate, Broadstairs etc an absolute lottery.

It's clear that there will be issues for years to come, for some reason or another ; Brexit bust ups witht he French , the usual French Strikes /blockades etc, so why oh why don't the government put in a long term plan such as lorry park (Manston ?) for when this happens , instead of cutting off Kent's main artery?
