Unsatisfactory solution which causes chaos.

Operation Brock is a nightmare solution for all concerned. Travelling through Kent becomes unbearable with journey times extended and gridlock on local road with people looking for rat-runs to avoid the worst of the traffic. Lorry drivers are stuck without access to food and facilities which would make the delays they experience more acceptable. The so-called Kent resilience forum is a joke, lacking answers and solutions to the problems that arise. The county has a ready-made solution at Manston where lorries can be given a scheduled slot and toilet and showering facilities can be made available.

In the event that Manston is not big enough, then other dedicated lorry parks need to be constructed urgently. It is essential that the main thoroughfare across the county remain open in both directions a.s.a.p.
