There are times when i have not been able to get home
I work in London and travel to work everyday by using the M20. Typical, getting to work is fine when Brock in on, the challenge is always getting home.
I just cant see why the slip lane heading south at junction 8 is closed. it just doesn't make sense at all. What this actually does is slow up the M20 to a standstill (accident waiting to happen) and at the junction itself, pushes lorries and traffic down the A20..I live just off the A20 and the road isn't capable of taking large volumes of slow moving vehicles.
The M20 was so full one night, as was the A20 that after an exhaustive day at work, I came off at 8 and slept in the car at the services for an hour before carrying on from home.
To top it all, it always seems to coincide with road closures on the Leeds Road (B2163), Kegworth Road and Broomfield Lane. There's sometimes no way home...
The trouble is that junction 8 is now a massive bottle neck dispersing traffic to the Maidstone south and surrounding villages. Where's that long overdue bypass (Sorry, residents of Leeds village)
Come on please. Try and sort out the logic and re open the slip lane south at junction 8. I mean, how much money is that costing to have a security patrol there to police it all? Must be close on £200k this time round.. I have a funny feeling that its me as a rate payer that's helping to fund it all..
Ever hopeful.
Consultation has concluded.
